New Student Orientation

Get Ready for Life at BSU

New Student Orientation (NSO) welcomes our newest Bulldogs to campus. During NSO, incoming students receive support as they transition into their new academic and social environment.

Kick off your life at Bowie State with:

  • An overview of campus resources
  • Academic highlights and tips for success
  • A crash course in BSU traditions and history
  • Social events to connect with your new peers

Mark your calendar for this valuable experience that helps you become acclimated and informed as you begin your academic journey as a BSU Bulldog.
