Baker College online bachelor's programs ranked among top in U.S.

Baker College Online bachelor’s programs have been recognized in three national rankings for 2016 by editorially independent, online organizations.

The Baker College rankings are:

· Ranked third most affordable online bachelor’s degrees by College Choice.

· Ranked in the top 20 best online bachelor’s degrees in human resources by Best College Reviews. Baker College offers a bachelor’s degree in human resource management.

· Ranked in the top 40 for best online bachelor’s of health care administration programs by SuperScholar in its “Smart Choice” series. Baker College offers a bachelor’s degree in health services administration.

Baker College’s 21 online bachelor’s degrees can be completed 100 percent online or through a blend of on-ground and online courses.

“Being nationally ranked by independent reviewers reflects the quality and affordability of our online programs,” said Jill Langen, Ph.D., Baker College Online/Center for Graduate Studies president. “To maintain our top rankings, we continually look for ways to improve our offerings to meet the changing needs of students and employers.”

For the affordable bachelor’s degree ranking, College Choice considered schools with regional accreditation and assessed them for total cost, including tuition and associated fees, and number of online degrees offered. Baker College offers bachelor’s degrees in the program areas of business administration, computer information systems, education, health sciences, nursing, human services and social science.

Best College Reviews considered three factors when evaluating online bachelor’s degrees in human resources: affordability – the average out-of-state tuition per credit hour; flexibility - if the program offers additional specializations and/or an accelerated track; and academic reputation - the rank of the school’s parent institution.

SuperScholar assessed schools identified by the National Center for Educational Statistics as offering distance programs for bachelor’s degrees in health care administration and related fields. Schools were evaluated based on market reputation, flexibility, student satisfaction, accessibility and affordability.
