Online Education at Baker College
About Baker Online
Baker College Online, headquartered in Michigan, is a part of the Baker College system, which was founded in 1911. Baker College is one of America's largest private college systems, and Michigan's largest, serving over 40,000 students. Baker College Online offers over 40 different degrees, accredited both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, of online programs and certificates to prepare our students for careers in high employment fields, such as business, computers, and healthcare.
How Does It Work?
At Baker College Online, you take your entire degree program through your computer, using the Internet to link faculty and students. This process can occur between two computers in the same town or between computers on opposite sides of the earth, at whatever time best fits into your schedule.
All students in Baker's online environment become actively involved in interactive learning groups. Courses are typically six weeks in length and have regularly scheduled beginning and end dates. On the first day of each course the online instructor sends an introductory lecture to begin the study process for the week. To stimulate discussions, the instructor would also typically include discussion questions related to the topic at the end of his/her lecture.
As the week progresses, you work on your readings and assignments, and you participate in classroom discussions using the computer. Your instructors are readily available to receive your questions and to provide feedback, and they keep you informed of your status weekly. You should never be unaware of what is expected of you.
Do I Quality? How Much Does It Cost?
Baker's online students must have experience with computers, know-how to load software and know-how to use a word processing program (ie: Microsoft Word). Prior to registering for your first online course, you must complete a technical orientation. Your Development Coordinator will provide instructions for completion of this orientation.
Have you been intimidated by the tuition that other online colleges charge? You may have thought that online education is an option you can't afford. But with Baker College Online, in most cases your tuition is less than half that of other major online colleges! This makes Baker one of the most affordable options for higher education available to busy working adult students.
| Undergraduate cost per credit hour: | $190 |
