About Baker
Throughout Baker University’s history, we have introduced programs to serve the changing needs of students.
In the fall of 2015, the Higher Learning Commission approved the online Master of Science in Nursing program, which offers practicing nurses the opportunity to shape the next generation of health care professionals. Graduates are prepared to pursue careers in nursing education and nursing administration.

For more than two decades, Baker’s School of Nursing has built healthy communities by educating exceptional nurses. In partnership with Stormont Vail Health, a Magnet-designated hospital for nursing excellence in Topeka, Kansas, the bachelor of science in nursing program is known for its rigorous curriculum, early immersion into clinical settings, and outstanding first-time licensure exam pass rates.
Baker’s School of Nursing also offers an online Master of Science in Nursing program geared toward shaping the next generation of nursing professionals. Two tracks fill a critical workforce need: nursing education and nursing administration.
