How much does it cost?

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, your tuition is less than half that of other major online colleges, in most cases! Currently, the undergraduate cost per credit hour is $175; for graduate, the cost per credit hour is $285.

How are the classes delivered?

Our entire degree programs are delivered via Blackboard®, an Internet-based system designed to allow students to participate in classes in an online format. It allows you to send and receive information from your instructor, the classroom, other students or groups of students. Each class has a unique virtual classroom that is the common meeting area for all students enrolled in that online class. This form of education is what the experts call "asynchronous." This means what you do is neither time nor place dependent. You go online to read lectures, participate in discussion and possibly complete exams. Many of the assignments and exercises required in online courses will still be completed off-line using word processing software. This system is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Online courses are usually six weeks in length, and students may enter the program year-round.

Master of Business Administration in Health Care Management

The Baker MBA program is very demanding yet flexible enough to accommodate the busy lifestyles of working adults. The graduate courses are taught using a practitioner-based method of teaching. This allows the student to study not only theory, but also the application of theory in the workplace. To reinforce this unique teaching approach, the College uses practitioner faculty who have not only a sound theoretical training in their field, but also a significant level of practical experience.

Additionally, the Center incorporates the special enrichment themes of ethics, quality, international business, computers and communications in every graduate-level course. Baker College's graduate programs focus on analysis, synthesis and evaluation. This provides students with ample opportunity to hone their critical thinking skills.

Students in the MBA. program may elect to pursue a concentration or major in Health Care Management.
