Student Experiences

Master of Conflict Management & Dispute Resolution (CMDR)

What I’ve gained from the Baker CMDR program helps me do a better job in serving the people I work with. The greatest advantage here is the talented faculty. I’ve had the opportunity to learn from and work with. Baker’s been a good investment for me.
--Ronnie Beach, CMDR student

The convenience and the acceleration of the CMDR program allowed me to change to a second career very quickly. Baker University absolutely broadened my network of people that are in the field that I want to pursue. It’s not just classroom theory. It is people teaching the class that are practicing it today. They are very knowledgeable about the industry that you want to be in, very connected. And [they] offer career advice while they are teaching you a skill set.

--Michelle Minor, CMDR student

[The Baker CMDR program] has been tremendously intellectually stimulating, and I’ve seen a lot of practical application. It gives people skills that they can use regardless of what their occupation or profession is, and they will find those same skills enhancing the quality of their life. There is a commitment that Baker has to the development of its faculty and its ongoing training. That’s the infrastructure that makes the school successful.

Master of Liberal Arts (MLA)

Baker has a personable approach to its students. The caring aspect and the convenience of Baker drew me to it.

--Zach Sediqzad, MLA student

The MLA program gives you new ideas and a new way of looking at things that you may apply to a problem or a situation immediately.

--Chris Watkins, MLA alumnus

The Baker MLA program is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a really long time. Everything that I’m learning I’m using, and it’s changing me every single day. I can’t recommend it enough to people who definitely want a degree program that is well rounded.

Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Attending Baker has had a huge impact on my life both personal and professional. Personally it has encouraged my daughter to return to school to get her Bachelors degree with plans to continue through a masters program. Professionally it has enhanced my confidence level in the search for a job that I would really enjoy with a higher pay scale. Mentally I am able to think and respond at a more advanced level. Life, business and how it works makes sense now. I understand more of the whys! The superb teachers that I have had along the way have made a huge difference in my transformation for a better life! I always recommend Baker to friends and family with interest in higher education because they have a program that will fit any lifestyle. I am glad I decided to attend Baker University.
