Introduction to Concentrations
Baker University SPGS offers concentrations in selected areas of study to compliment a degree program. Concentrations are available in: marketing, human resources, international business, finance, and information systems. Individual concentration courses are open to all students.
Bachelor and Master degree students, who complete the requirements for a concentration prior to or simultaneously with their degree, will earn a concentration designation on their diploma. All completed concentrations will appear on the student's transcript.
Concentration courses are offered online and are six weeks in length. They are scheduled on a term basis with six terms per calendar year (Spring I, II; Summer I, II; Fall I, II). The concentration courses do not conflict with meeting times of other classes or Learning Team activities.
Requirements for enrollment in a concentration are: current enrollment in good standing, payment of all tuition and fees, and access to email and internet. Graduate students must complete concentration courses with a grade of "B" or better.
All courses are offered in an on-line format. Email our business marketing department for more information.
