No real world staff A large number of Baker's instructors focus solely on APA formatting and not real world implementation of skills taught. Baker's administration endorses this. Test materials and online quizzes are typically littered with errors. Do research on the institution. While they advertise a 98% employment rate for graduates, they have one of the lowest graduation rates. There are better schools for less money.

Don't even bother with this college Overall I can't even begin to describe how terrible the entire system at Baker is. The people in charge have no idea what they're doing and it is an intense pain in the ass when you have a question and the dozen or so people you call to get help from have no idea what's going on. I had fun teachers. Fun being a word I use when I enjoy the classes but don't learn anything. The teachers themselves weren't bad but they never seemed to have applied for the job that they wound up teaching. Because of this a lot of the classes I had wound up being directly out of the book because the teacher knew next to nothing about the course. I took a computer course so you can imagine how nice it is to use a book that is 6 years old. That may not seem like much to an english major but considering they release a NEW book every 6 months to a year it gets to be a pain in the ass when I had to take a windows class in 2010 and the book was started out teaching you how to upgrade your windows 2000 It was bad.

Needs more work in Gaming Software Development The Game Software Development program is poorly put together and does need a lot of work. It would help if the college hired qualified Gaming Development instructors.

Highly challenging and rewarding I am coming to the end of my first year with Baker and I cannot speak highly enough of the system. It is very intense and effort driven so if you are looking for an easy way to get a degree, do not go to Baker. I have read other students reviews and I agree, 5 out of 7 days you must post 2 quality posts to the board and sometimes it is difficult. It is not impossible and requires just a few moments out of each day if you know the material and yes, some instructors like a couple of paragraphs but what is the issue with that if you have read the material. And for those of you stating that not all instructors facilitate the posting process, that is ridiculous. You will have questions yourself, your classmates will have questions. By either asking a question and/or answering a question on course material, your making a substantial post. Bottom line is, it is a credible college providing high intensity workload in order to facilitate you not having to commute to campus every other day. It is no secret that online education requires great amounts of self discipline and dedication and those who lack these traits should definitely look for an easier school to attend. Just because you cannot commit yourself to the workload or maybe you give up to easily, does not mean you should try to discredit this college. Other students including me are paying hard earned dollars to get a degree and people who complain and pass the blame like this are trying to take away the good name of the college while not acknowledging their own issues. Bottomline, I researched many online schools before deciding on Baker and I have yet to regret the decision.

Horrible I do not even know where to begin with this school. First of all, if you ever need help to use their Blackboard system, then you better hope one of your fellow students are kind enough to walk you through because the support team won't help you and the teachers themselves do not even know how to work it properly. Grades are never posted in a timely fashion and it maybe by the end of the second seminar that you see your grades for the first one. If you do not understand what you are reading then don't expect that the teacher will either. I have had two teacher claiming to have PH.Ds and knew less than the students did about the material. Also, if you don't agree with the teacher on a particular topic like euthanasia or Native American heritage then plan on getting C's for the rest of the quarter because you are wrong they are right and that is that. Financial Aid is only done by one person so good luck on getting a call back for that. The business office staff may get back with you next week if you are lucky after calling them five times to get through. Seriously, Baker is a waste of time. There teachers are incredible messes and you are not getting a worth while education there.
