Jan. 28-30 Virtual Operations, Campus Remains Closed

Bowie State University will continue with virtual operations for all classes and office operations through Friday, January 30, 2026. The campus will be closed to all non-essential personnel, and all campus activities are canceled. All buildings except residence halls and the dining hall will be closed. Essential personnel should report on time. This is due to the extended time required to clear the extensive snow and ice accumulation on campus. University crews are making every effort to resume campus operations, as a safe return to in-person learning and work remains our top priority. Only essential personnel and residential students are permitted access to the campus through Jan. 30. For more information, please visit BowieState.edu/weather. 

What You'll Learn

With a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision, you will examine how marginalized groups, particularly people of African descent, are treated within the context of their community and learn to identify its effect on mental health. You will consider the impact of culture in every theory, intervention, and technique to relate this viewpoint as an educator. You will learn to address your questions through research, share your discoveries through teaching, and apply your knowledge in practice.  

As a student you will:  

  • Analyze theories relevant to counseling from multiple theoretical and cultural perspectives.  
  • Understand the purpose, roles, and relationships of clinical supervision.  
  • Establish, deliver, and evaluate curriculum and methods relevant to counselor education.
