Summer Semester
Bowie State University’s Summer School offers a wide variety of courses that provide individuals with
the opportunity to accelerate a degree program, explore a special interest, or acquire new skills.
Several summer sessions are offered from June through mid‐August. Course offerings are designed to
allow continuing students to take general education and major requirements that will enable them to
shorten their time‐to‐degree. Our courses are also available to students from other colleges and
universities. Students who have just graduated from high school have an opportunity to get a head start
in the University program of their choice. A maximum of seven semester hours, or two courses, may be
taken in each session.
Credit courses and workshops are available during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends.
Interested persons should contact Continuing Education and External Programs (301‐860‐3592; toll free
877‐772‐6943, x3592) for summer session information.
Mini‐Semester
The January Mini‐Semester, a three‐week session, is designed to give students and faculty the
opportunity to explore topics in an intense and focused session. A student may accelerate his/her
degree program, explore a special interest, or acquire new skills. Graduate and undergraduate credit
and non‐credit courses and workshops are available during the day, in the evening, and on weekends. A
maximum of seven semester hours may be taken in the Mini‐Semester.

The Portfolio Program (Credit for Life Experience)
Non‐traditional undergraduate students who have formally applied to Bowie State University, have been
accepted, and have paid the application and acceptance fees may apply for credit for experiential
learning through the Portfolio Program. Normally, a student should apply to the Portfolio Program
during the first semester of enrollment at the Institution. A portfolio that documents and describes
adult learning experiences may be done independently or by participating in a Portfolio Development
Seminar following guidelines in the Student Guide to Portfolio Development.
