BOLDLY Reaching Every Student Everywhere!
The Office of Regional Higher Education Centers and Online Programs is here to provide direction, leadership, and oversight for the University System of Maryland Regional Higher Education Centers, Off-Campus Locations, and Fully Online Programs at Bowie State University. We champion quality standards and best practices to inform and support instructional design, online pedagogy, and instructional technology. In collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, we offer leadership in the development, implementation, and review of academic programs in all major areas of regional campuses/off-site locations, and fully online programs at Bowie State University.
All fully online programs are 100% online. Students enrolled in these programs cannot enroll in traditional face to face courses. There are only a select number of fully online programs offered at Bowie State University, so please review the fully online programs offered below for details.
