The traditional model of the MBA has been designed for students
who may have less on-the-job experience or life experience than
an individual in the concentration programs. The courses in this
model are more academically structured and assume less of a "grounding"
in the subject than do similar courses in the concentrations.
This concentration combines the best of conventional academic training
with the best of field-based learning. The significant difference
between this degree option and Baker's other MBA's is that there
is no need to declare a concentration. Students electing this "general"
approach to the degree simply complete the core MBA courses and
then pick and choose from any other courses offered in the graduate
school.
Requirements
MBA candidates should be 21 years of age or older. Baker welcomes
diversity among its student population, yet recognizes the special
needs presented by international students. Students from countries
other than the U.S. and Canada should contact Baker directly at
adm-ol@baker.edu.
Over 15,000 students worldwide have found Baker to be their best choice
in online education. Baker College Online is an extension of the prestigious
Baker College, founded in Michigan in 1911, a fully accredited, private,
not-for-profit career college system.
At Baker College Online, you take your entire degree program through
your computer, using the Internet to link faculty and students.
This process can occur between two computers in the same town or
between computers on opposite sides of the earth, at whatever time
best fits into your schedule.
All students in Baker's online environment become actively involved
in interactive learning groups. Courses are typically six weeks
in length and have regularly scheduled beginning and end dates.
On the first day of each course the online instructor sends an introductory
lecture to begin the study process for the week. To stimulate discussions,
the instructor would also typically include discussion questions
related to the topic at the end of his/her lecture.
As the week progresses, you work on your readings and assignments,
and you participate in classroom discussions using the computer.
Your instructors are readily available to receive your questions
and to provide feedback, and they keep you informed of your status
weekly. You should never be unaware of what is expected of you.
