Baker College - Cadillac

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.

Question: Are credits from Baker College transferable to universities?

I am currently attending Baker College of Owosso, and I was wondering if the credits I am earning now can be transfered to larger universities like Michigan University, Michigan State, or even Texas Tech I am enrolled in a computer sciences degree

The transfer of credit is entirely up to the receiving school and there are no universal rules. Each college may accept or decline any credit that they want to. Some colleges accept no transfer credit at all (Princeton) and some will accept 100% of the degree in transfer (Excelsior, Thomas Edison, Charter Oak) -- most are in between. Generally, as long as the credit is from a regionally accredited college (Baker College (http://www.baker.edu) is regionally accredited by the North Central Association) and applies to the degree you want to get, the credit will transfer. The only way to know for sure is to send the transcript from Baker to the registrar of the colleges that you want to attend and ask.

Baker is an independent, non-profit school with both campus and online degree programs. Baker has been in operation in some form or another for over 100 years. While it won't be on the same level as most big state universities, like University of Florida. It will be considered on the same level as a small to medium state university and better than some other online schools. In other words, there are definitely worse options than Baker. Good luck,
