Responding to the needs of the community, citizens of Bowie voted a half-cent sales tax channeled through an economic development foundation. The 16,000 square foot, 2.196 million dollar building opened in January 2000, marking a significant moment in the city’s development. The beautiful structure is situated on picturesque property at the intersection of Mill Street and State Highway 287. Click HERE for map and driving directions. 810 South Mill Street (Mailing: P.O.

The curriculum includes courses that provide a solid foundation for students transferring to four-year universities, as well as pre-requisites for the Associate Degree Nursing (RN) program. Every August, there is a new group of Vocational Nursing (LVN) students eager to complete their program in 12 months. Furthermore, through a Department of Education grant (WINDOWS), students attending the Bowie Campus will now be able to participate in a bridge program to transition a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) to a registered nurse (RN). Academic courses for transfer or earning an associate degree can also be completed locally. Another program offered on the Bowie Campus is the Associate of Arts in Teaching. Articulation agreements have been made with state universities so that AAT graduates will have a seamless transition to complete their education/certification degrees. The AAT degree satisfies the requirements for the "No Child Left Behind" act for teacher aides. NEW! In the Fall 2009 semester , the Bowie Campus will host an exciting Oil & Gas Production Technology Program (based in newly added facility) that will offer the industry-prescribed courses leading to either a two-year Associate Degree or a one-year Certificate of Completion.
