College Profile: Baker College of Auburn Hills

The mission of Baker College is to provide quality higher education and training which enable graduates to be successful throughout challenging and rewarding careers.

Welcome to Baker College, the largest independent college in the state of Michigan with the most focused approach to education and training available. We believe that going to college should lead you directly to a great career. And that's exactly where we come in. Unlike other colleges and universities, Baker is a career college, with one mission: to provide you job specific training so you can enter a more personally rewarding career right out of college. You will become a working professional in a successful career, not a career student.

Founded in 1911, Baker College has brought the joy of career fulfillment to hundreds of thousands of graduates through the years. Whether on one of our 9 campuses, 6 branch locations, or online worldwide, all of our students want to improve their career situation. With Baker in their corner, they do— 98% of our available graduates are currently employed.

Our flexible associate, bachelor's and master's degree programs cater to students pursuing careers in the business, health sciences, human services, education, and technical fields.

For nearly a century, Baker College has quietly gone about the business of preparing our students for successful careers. We've grown considerably from a college of 150 students in 1911 to over 35,000 students today.

The Auburn Hills campus offers a full array of both associate's and bachelor's degree programs. Specialty programs include Echocardiographic Technology, Internet/LAN Security, Interior Design, Teacher Preparation, Dental Hygiene, Automotive Service Technology, Licensed Practical Nurse, Respiratory Care, and the Accelerated Bachelor of Business Administration degree.

Baker College now offers classes at every degree level in traditional classroom settings, via a network of video-based distance delivery facilities, and through the Internet. Every year, in the course of what we consider "normal business," we work a little harder to prepare our students for successful careers by introducing new programs, opening new campuses, constructing new facilities, and embracing innovative technology that has allowed us to deliver our curriculum across the country and around the world.

Our growing numbers prove that more and more students are turning to "career colleges" as their choice for a college education, while our near-perfect employment rates underscore the business community's support of our efforts. In truth, the sheer number of "traditional" colleges racing to embrace Baker's philosophy of education stands as a testament to our ability to deliver an educational product that works.
