Baker College - Allen Park

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Baker College is a private not-for-profit American college in Michigan, founded in 1911. Its campuses are located throughout the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

Baker is a career college, featuring more than 140 career programs within its system (though not all programs are available through all campuses). Baker offers certifications, Associate, Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degree programs in business, nursing, education, interior design, architecture, automotive service technology, and computer and internet technologies. It maintains a "right to try" admissions policy, and couples that policy with an extensive financial aid office to allow for a very broad base of traditional and nontraditional students.

History

Within a few years on either side of the turn of the twentieth century, two proprietary institutions of higher education were founded. Though completely independent of each other, both shared a common mission-to provide students with the skills needed for employment in the great industries of their times. In 1965, after half a century of separate but parallel existence, the two institutions came together under a single management group headed by Robert Jewell of Muskegon.

The college has flourished in the years following that initial union. Now known as the Baker College System, it is the largest independent college in Michigan, with over 35,000 students in more than 140 programs on 12 campuses and five branch locations. 1 Throughout years of tremendous growth and success, Baker College has maintained its original mission: to provide quality higher education and training which enables graduates to be successful throughout challenging and rewarding careers.

Following are some highlights in the history of the Baker College System:

1888 - Inspired by a "boom" in lumbering and Great Lakes shipping, entrepreneur Woodbridge Ferris founded Muskegon College.

1911 - In a similar venture, motivated by the growth of the great automotive factories in Flint, Eldon E. Baker founded Baker Business University.
