Baker College

Baker College, with a history spanning over a century, has continuously adapted to meet the evolving educational and workforce needs of Michigan. What began as Baker Business University in 1911 in Flint has transformed through mergers, name changes, and the establishment of specialized career-focused institutes. Today, it's known for its commitment to practical, hands-on learning, particularly in high-demand fields.

Prospective students looking for direct pathways to professional careers will find a strong foundation at Baker. The college is particularly recognized for its Culinary Institute of Michigan (CIM), which achieved Exemplary Status accreditation through the American Culinary Federation. CIM offers comprehensive programs in culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, and food and beverage management. Additionally, Baker College has invested in state-of-the-art Centers for Transportation Technology, providing students with cutting-edge training for the automotive and transportation sectors.

Baker College operates as a non-profit corporation, emphasizing its dedication to student success. Its journey has involved significant campus restructuring, including the relocation of its main campus to Owosso, Michigan, in 2020, and a recent move to a purpose-built facility in Royal Oak in early 2023. While navigating its growth and adaptations, Baker College remains focused on delivering career-oriented education designed to prepare students for real-world employment.
