Overview of Baker College Campus
Baker College Campus was founded in 1911 by Eldon E. Baker. The original name of the institution was Baker Business University. In 1965, the institution merged with another longstanding area school, Muskegon College, and since that time has flourished and grown. With 14 campuses located throughout the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, Baker today is Michigan's largest private college. Baker offers more than 150 career programs, available through its ground campus sites or via its online program.
