    Bowie is cheaper that most schools in the area. We like it like that because it helps the experience. Just because its cheap doesn't mean your learning will be, I have learned more at bowie than in a University of Maryland class.

    As far as tuition goes, Bowie State University's tuition ranges about 7500-8000(books and room and board included) At the moment. It may vary by school year but this is the usual amount.

    If looking at a university in MD, Bowie is the best choice but the tuition is real crazy considering you have to pay some real awkward fees for no reason.
