As a Manager or Administrator, you coordinate and direct support services that enable organizations to operate efficiently. You might oversee clerical services, payroll, conference planning, travel, information processing, distribution, printing and mailing, or building services. It’s work that requires you to think analytically, be decisive and flexible, and have good communication skills.

At Baker, your success starts with learning fundamental business functions, processes, leadership, and communication skills. You develop a broad base of knowledge in key areas such as accounting, marketing, management, and business law. You also enhance your classwork through internship/cooperative education opportunities, giving you real-world experience in today’s rapidly changing business environment.

We have many Baker grads, and they’re all very successful. Our transportation manager, our quality assurance manager, our human resource manager, our CFO, to name a few, are all Baker grads.
