A pioneer in accelerated degree programs for adult learners.

More than 30 years ago, Baker University became a pioneer and regional leader in developing flexible, accelerated degree programs for working adults.

Today, our partnerships with area businesses and organizations ensure we continue to develop innovative educational programs that meet local workforce needs and the needs of our students.

Instructors at Baker University’s School of Professional and Graduate Studies are working professionals from diverse disciplines. As experts in their respective fields, they will share their experiences and knowledge with you while challenging you to reflect and critically examine the world in which you live.

Baker classes are held year-round, and new classes start frequently, so you can get started sooner rather than later.
