Excellence is a proven tradition of Kansas' oldest university.
It is a reputation that spans 138 years, when Baker University was founded by Methodist ministers in an infant Kansas Territory on the Santa Fe Trail. Known to draw the finest scholars, the University's excellence has been recognized both locally and nationally. Baker has been named one of the top 100 private schools in the nation by Money Magazine's Money Guide to America's Best College Buys , one of the top 60 universities in the Midwest by U.S. News and World Report , and one of the 300 best buys in America in Barron's Best Buys in College Education . The University, which has graduated four Rhodes Scholars and two Pulitzer Prize winners, continues in the vein of excellence. It is a quality recognized by those who work with our alumni - leaders in the fields of medicine, religion, business, education, and the arts.
