Thinking of Bowie State for Natural Sciences?
The CURE program allows you to gain research skills in several research streams, such as molecular biology and chemistry. It provides a network of faculty, researchers and research-focused employers. It can also help you prepare for medical school, graduate school, or the workforce.

CURE provided me the push I needed! Now I can guide my peers and be more effective in higher-level laboratory courses.
About the CURE Program
Research experience is essential to the education and professional development of undergraduate STEM majors. To provide research experiences, the Department of Natural Sciences has created Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE), where faculty develop projects that engage whole classes of students in a research question or problem of interest to the scientific community. CURE courses offer research opportunities to whole classes of students in molecular biology, genetics, immunology, cell biology, genetic engineering, microbiology, bioinformatics, drug discovery, field biology, and more.
