The perfect place to prepare for your career.

The ‘Downriver’ campus is the fastest-growing location in the Baker College system, with an enrollment that’s grown nearly 500% since 2003! There are many reasons for this growth, including a great location near four major freeways.  With over a half-dozen new facilities completed over the past two years, Allen Park is one of the most modern and technologically-advanced campuses in the state.  But most importantly, Allen Park is home to faculty, staff and students who are totally committed to helping each other succeed.
