What are the graduation rates for students at Baker University?

Baker University's reported six-year graduation rate is 58%, while its four-year rate is 49%. These measures track a defined entering group of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students in the measured cohort completed after year four but within six years. Baker's reported first-to-second-year retention rate is 66%, a separate measure of whether students return, not whether they ultimately graduate. Completion figures describe past cohorts and cannot predict an individual student's outcome. Applicants can make them more useful by asking how often required courses are offered in their intended major and what happens financially if graduation takes an additional term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Baker University?

College Scorecard program-level earnings figures offer a limited view of employment outcomes for federally aided students whose earnings can be measured after completing a program. For the reported one-year-after-completion measure, the median is $56,831 for registered nursing and $50,571 for business administration, management, and operations. The corresponding figure for liberal arts and general studies is $36,663.

These are medians for measured graduates in particular program categories, not starting salaries promised to all Baker students. Coverage can vary by program and credential, and one year is too early to show an entire career trajectory. Local labor markets, further education, work hours, and prior experience also affect pay.

Baker reports career support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, career-interest assessment, interview workshops, job fairs, and on-campus employer recruitment. Those services may help students plan a search; they are not, by themselves, evidence of a placement rate or a particular earnings result.
