Bowie State University is a public institution operating out of a 300-acre suburban campus in Bowie, Maryland. Founded in 1865, it is the oldest historically Black university in Maryland. The university runs bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and certificate programs, with a stated emphasis on science, technology, business, and education.
Cybersecurity roles here sit within a higher-education environment with an annual economic impact of $351.3 million. The threat model is typical for a mid-size public university: protecting student and research data, securing campus network infrastructure, and meeting federal compliance requirements tied to research funding. Expect to work across institutional IT domains rather than building commercial products.
