Bowie State University and Revolutionary VP Studios today announced a strategic partnership to prepare students for careers in virtual production, immersive media and entertainment technology through hands-on training, internships and industry engagement. The initiative supports Bowie State’s new Bachelor of Science in Immersive Media, Entertainment and Gaming (IMEG) program which launched this fall and reflects a shared commitment to developing one of the nation’s most comprehensive HBCU-to-industry pipelines for emerging media talent.
“Preparing students for global leadership and success in industries shaping the future is central to our mission,” said Dr. Aminta H. Breaux, president of Bowie State University. “This significant collaboration with Revolutionary VP Studios demonstrates our commitment to workforce development, innovation and career readiness. By connecting students directly with emerging technologies, real-world experiences and industry expertise, the university continues to create pathways to high-demand careers while supporting the region’s growing creative economy.”
“New innovations are rapidly changing our nation’s future and economy, and it is up to us to train the next generation for the jobs of the future,” said Gov. Wes Moore. “This partnership between Revolutionary VP Studios and Bowie State University is an exciting opportunity for students to learn in a state-of-the-art facility with cutting-edge technology while supporting our state’s investments in workforce development, as we build pathways to work, wages and wealth.”
