Graduate Admission Procedures

Students applying for admission to the M.B.A. program must submit the following items:

1. A completed application and $25.00 application fee.
2. A typed essay (500-1000 words) addressing the student’s reasons for entering the program. A form and detailed instructions are included in the admissions packet or available on the web.
3. Official college transcripts with degree posted from an accredited college or university. Official college transcripts must be mailed from the institution granting the degree directly to the Center for Graduate Studies.
4. Three letters of recommendation; one must be from the student’s current or most recent employer (recommendations from family members will not be accepted).
5. Current resume indicating at least three years of full-time work experience.
6. Competence in both written and oral English is required for international students. This is shown by a median score on the CELT (Comprehensive English Language Test) or a score of 550 or better (213 computer-based) on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam.
7. Proof of Michigan residency required for Michigan residents.
8. (Optional) GMAT or GRE scores may be submitted if the student wants Baker College to consider the scores in the admissions decision.
9. Send application material that was not submitted online by mail to:
   Baker College
   Center for Graduate Studies
   1116 West Bristol Road
   Flint, MI 48507

Baker College will base admissions decisions for each individual using the following guidelines as indicators of potential for graduate study.

1. Possess a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution.
2. Have a 2.5 or better GPA (4.0 Scale) in undergraduate work.
3. Having completed no less than three years of full-time work experience.
4. Be able to display appropriate communication skills.

In cases where there is insufficient evidence of probable success, the graduate school may require the student to take specific undergraduate courses, until the student has demonstrated an ability to succeed at the graduate level.

Once submitted, the student’s completed application packet will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The committee will carefully consider the complete package and make a decision on that basis. The committee may recommend admission of a student who is lacking in one standard, such as undergraduate GPA, if the student demonstrates outstanding performance indicators in other areas.
