The Bowie State College is a State-operated school for preparing
elementary and secondary school teachers. It was originally estab-
lished in 1867 as the Baltimore Normal School, a private institution.
By Chapter 599, Acts of 1908 the State purchased it and moved it to
its present location, at which time it became known as the State
Teachers College at Bowie. The college adopted its present name on
July 1, 1963. The college offers a four-year teacher preparation course
leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts.
Certain majors are also offered in the field of liberal arts. Students
taking the full four-year course pay no tuition if they promise to
teach in the public schools of Maryland upon graduation. The enroll-
ment for 1962-63 was 366.
