How much does it cost?
Have you been intimidated by the tuition that other online
colleges charge? You may have thought that online education is an
option you can't afford. But with Baker, your tuition is less
than half that of other major online colleges, in most cases!
Currently, the undergraduate cost per credit hour is $175; for
graduate, the cost per credit hour is $285.
How are the classes delivered?
Our entire degree programs are delivered via Blackboard®, an
Internet-based system designed to allow students to participate
in classes in an online format. It allows you to send and receive
information from your instructor, the classroom, other students
or groups of students. Each class has a unique virtual classroom
that is the common meeting area for all students enrolled in that
online class. This form of education is what the experts call
"asynchronous." This means what you do is neither time nor place
dependent. You go online to read lectures, participate in
discussion and possibly complete exams. Many of the assignments
and exercises required in online courses will still be completed
off-line using word processing software. This system is open 24
hours a day, seven days a week. Online courses are usually six
weeks in length, and students may enter the program year-round.
