Baker College of Muskegon — Local services in Muskegon

Do not waste your time or money. I am only attending this school because the drive to the good Vet Tech colleges is way too far. The school does not support its students. It always backs its teachers they always cover for each other so if a student needs help and is having issues with in inexperienced teacher they close ranks and no one is ever there to help the students. The teachers are supposed to follow a curriculum set forth by the school but in the LVT program they constantly fall behind and just expect you to teach yourself so that you stay on schedule. I am the worst person to teach myself anything. What I am learning in these classes can mean life or death to a patient. So why would you trust me to teach myself these thing because you cant seem to stick to a schedule. Why am I paying them? None of their VET TECH teachers have any sort of teaching certificate. So it makes it hard to understand them when they only teach how they know how to learn. This is very exclusionary. One professor quit without notice, 3 weeks into a semester and they had to scramble to find a replacement. We just got a friendly email that he no longer works for the school. Turns out he had been a teacher here for almost 20 years and it took the new program director and all the new changes to make him say enough is enough this doesn't work anymore. They teachers openly tell you that your life is gonna he hell for 2 years. Hold up. Why does the program have to be hell? Why do you have to run it so that your students with any kind of anxiety or depression are running to therapy and openly crying around campus from the stress? Why not make it better. Hell isn't a place I want to be, so why not help us instead of hurt. If I had known these credits do not transfer I would never had started here at all. They tell you not to work while you're in the program, ok then how am I supposed to live? They tell you it is full time all the time. It isnt. They lie a lot to get you into...

“Excellent in every way”. If any person whom actually attended a full course of study with Baker College gave this college less than a five star rating ,It quite possibly could be ,a lack of commitment to his or her personal work ethic in earning and obtaining a superior education, that Baker offers. From my experiences with comparing other schools that I have worked to earn degrees with I must say, what holds the most value over anything else ,Is to have a good attitude ,for it will take you farther than any thing else in every area of life. It’s unfortunate that this cannot be taught. My opinion is shared by many others. I’ve taken time to ask this question. I don’t believe any of the teachers or staff at Baker come off as anything but dedicated ,especially to those students whom… Work hard and show a positive attitude towards learning and fulfill what is asked and required of them to learn and earn a degree. An education from Baker College should be satisfying and productive in the workplace and those whom I know that have attended ,successfully agree. Some have become very forthwith successful as entrepreneurs. Keep up the good work Baker College. In all respects .I’ll see you...

If I could put 0 starts I definitely would. I only went here for not even a semester and it was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had. First of all, some of the teachers really do not teach all of the material and basically expect you to learn on your own. Second of all, there’s no late policy, meaning they don’t accept late work. So if you don’t turn it in before the due date, you get a 0 and have 0 chance of making it up. This happened to me with an assignment, I was going to be late on. Mary Jo contacted me via phone number to let me know I would have a late assignment (which I already knew). She basically told me that I wasn’t “college material” and should consider going to trade school or getting my CNA. This is one conversation that left me crying and questioning whether or not I wanted to continue going here. The staff is very rude and condescending, not to mention it’s very expensive to go here and they really don’t give you a lot to work with in terms of financial aid. I do not recommend and I hope every person who considers this place as an option takes what I’ve said into...
