Baker welcomes diversity among its student population, yet recognizes the special needs presented by international students. Please note that enrollment in a program offered by Baker College Online does not in any way require or facilitate a student visa. Before Baker College can officially consider any international student the following requirements must be met:
- The student must send transcripts (an official record) showing satisfactory completion of secondary school or its equivalent, as well as any post-secondary school (college/university). Transcripts in any language other than English must be accompanied by certified, literal English translations. These translations can be obtained through ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc.) www.ece.org.
- All international students must be proficient in the English language to successfully gain admission to Baker Online. This must be demonstrated by a TOEFL score of 550 (213 on the computer-based exam) prior to enrolling. Applications to take the TOEFL test must be made directly to Educational Testing Services (and not to Baker College). For information about test dates, fees, testing centers, and to obtain registration materials, visit www.toefl.org.
- All courses will be taken online and as such students must posses a personal computer and reliable access to the Internet. Your computer system must meet the technical requirements listed above.
