Invest in yourself. Affordable education for a brighter future.

Investing in education is an investment in your future and we want that investment to be as affordable as possible. If you truly want to change your life and your career for the better, we want to give you the chance to do so without money being an obstacle.

Baker College has the lowest tuition of any private college in Michigan. As a non-profit college, we’re not focused on turning a profit for shareholders — we’re invested in you. Being a non-profit allows us to keep our tuition down and lets us focus on creating the best experience possible for our students through things like high-tech equipment for classrooms and labs, free tutoring services, and lifetime career services.  

We also believe in keeping things simple. Unlike other colleges and universities, we don’t have any extra fees or hidden costs. No need to worry about being hit with a bill that’s much bigger than you expected. If you have any more questions about tuition at Baker College, contact your campus OneStop Advisor and they’ll help you through the entire process.

Estimated Cost of Attendance

Our cost of attendance budget estimates the total educational costs for a student attending one academic year (2 semesters). The cost factors include both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include tuition, fees, housing and books purchased through Barnes & Noble. Indirect costs include books and supplies not purchased through Barnes & Noble, meals, transportation and personal expenses. The costs included are estimates and vary depending on course requirements and personal spending habits. Actual costs may vary.

Student Housing Costs

Student housing is available at our Cadillac, Muskegon, Owosso, and Port Huron campuses. The rate for all housing options is $2,300 per semester; however, the rate may vary based on occupancy. Contact the OneStop or Housing Departments for details. A non-refundable residence hall application fee of $50 is required of all new students or a non-refundable $100 pre-payment is required for each semester a student returns to housing due when the Residence Hall Application is submitted.

The $100.00 returning student pre-payment is applied toward housing costs each semester it is paid.

Estimated food costs are an additional $1,000 per semester. If for any reason a student leaves during a semester, there will be no refund of room fees for that semester.
