As a test-optional college, we don’t require SAT or ACT scores for admissions. Baker College uses a comprehensive application review, meaning we look at you as a whole person with more to offer than a grade point average.

Why wait for graduation to start earning college credit? Earn transferable college credits at Baker College while you’re still in high school—at little to no cost. Flexible programs were developed to fit into your schedule, not the other way around.

Submit your application early. We encourage you to complete your application soon after the start of your senior year in high school.

We’ll give you a call, shoot you a text or reach out via email if we’re missing any information. And along the way, if you have any questions, you can always get in touch at 855-487-7888 or [email protected].

A copy of your transcripts or GED is required to receive an admissions decision. We prefer that your transcripts are sent electronically. However, we will also accept official documents via postal mail. Transfer students will need to send both their high school and college transcript as well as transcripts from any other higher education institution they’ve attended.
