Baker College makes dozens of its associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees available online to serve the needs of working professionals. Programs of study open to online learners include business intelligence, cloud security risk management, game software development, and industrial and organizational psychology. While online students can complete all of their coursework at a distance on their own schedule, online classes at the college are not self-paced. Students regularly engage with their classmates and instructors in order to explore new perspectives, hone interpersonal and group facilitation skills, and grow their professional network. Online students may also complete some of their coursework at one of the college's 11 locations across Michigan. Undergraduate applicants must have a high school or GED diploma. Although the school does not explicitly require ACT and SAT scores for admission, prospective students must demonstrate their readiness for postsecondary study through exam scores, prior college experience, or academic success in high school.
