Founded in 1865, Bowie State University is Maryland's first HBCU — boldly shaping the next generation of leaders and changemakers. #BowieBold

Bowie State was founded in 1865, the same year freedom became official for so many.

More than 160 years later, as Maryland's first HBCU, we continue to carry forward a legacy rooted in resilience, opportunity and bold leadership.

This Juneteenth, we honor those who came before us, celebrate how far we've come and recommit ourselves to building a brighter future through education.

In observance of the holiday, the university is closed today.

What do bananas, biotechnology and Bowie State have in common? Innovation. 🍌🌱

This summer, students and researchers in Bowie State's Department of Natural Sciences are working to establish one of the few banana and plantain germplasm repositories in the United States.

Using plant tissue culture, they are preserving valuable genetic resources and developing disease-free, resilient crops to help address some of agriculture's biggest challenges.

The result is research that supports sustainable agriculture, strengthens food security and creates lasting impact far beyond our campus.
