About This School

Baker College is a private nonprofit institution located in Owosso, Michigan with approximately 3,026 undergraduate students enrolled. Baker College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 88%. The average net price after financial aid is $15,171 per year. The graduation rate is 31%, and the typical graduate earns $31,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Baker College is a private university with its main campus in Owosso, Michigan, United States. It was founded in 1911 and has four additional campuses throughout the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the affordable net price of $15,171/year and open admissions make it accessible, but a 31% graduation rate means most students who start here don't finish — that's a serious red flag worth understanding before enrolling. Median earnings of $31,800 a decade out are modest, so you'll want to be very intentional about your program choice and have a clear career plan. Worth considering only if you've researched why so many students leave and have a concrete support plan to see it through.
