Bachelor's Degree in Business
Baldwin City Campus
World-class faculty, top students and an innovative curriculum are the hallmarks of Baker's business program. At Baker, you will work alongside professors who have the real-world experience necessary to prepare you to succeed, whether you choose to enter the workforce or continue your education at graduate school.
Through hands-on work within small groups in and out of the classroom, we teach you the fundamentals of business before applying those principles to real-life situations, culminating in the capstone course, Business Policy, in which you will research and analyze a real corporation before preparing a proposal for business improvement. Our curriculum focuses on rational approaches to business, problem solving and awareness of business environments. We emphasize the ethical and social responsibilities of the modern businessperson, while introducing you to global industry, trade and economics.
An invaluable companion to the business curriculum is Baker’s general education program. Through coursework in numerous subjects, you learn not only facts and theories. You learn how to learn, how to continue learning throughout life and how to adjust as society and industry change, which is a vital skill for any businessperson. You will leave with the confidence to succeed in your first job and to adjust with each subsequent professional pursuit.
