A four-year, 2+2 bachelor’s degree program in Network Security that leads to MCSE: Messaging and MCSE: Security
A two-year, associate’s degree program in Computer Networking that leads to MCSA: Messaging certification
A certificate program that is essentially the Associate’s program minus any math
Each campus that implements the Microsoft curriculum is a Microsoft IT Academy
All college curriculum is standardized across all Baker College campuses (“The System”)
We have agreed among ourselves to use MOAC textbooks where available; otherwise MOC
At the Flint campus (6000 students), enrollment supports the two-year programs, and infrequently we can run the bachelor’s program
The Baker System upgraded the associate’s degree and certificate programs for Server 2008 to lead to MCITP: Server Administrator
Each campus can decide to remain on the Server 2003 curriculum or move forward to Server 2008

As of fall, 2007, our networking labs were upgraded to HP XW4400 Core 2 Duo machines w/ 4 GB RAM and removable secondary hard drive as part of Baker’s normal hardware upgrade cycle
This is sufficient to run the Virtual PC labs with multiple VMs simultaneously
Maintaining IT Academy status Offering MSDNAA to students Selling certification vouchers at a discount Maintaining a testing center Advising students on the desirability of
certification Displaying Microsoft Learning promotional
materials Ongoing training which has led to both subject
matter and MCT certification for our instructor
We do not collect certification statistics from our studentsSeen as a privacy issue
Anecdotally, few of our students achieve certification
Cost of the certification exams, even at 50% off commercial pricing, seems to be prohibitive
Seeking ways to help our students even more
Installing a Prometric testing center to save travel time and expense for our students
Convincing our Admissions department that:We have a solid program in Microsoft networkingThere are jobs in the real world, even in Flint
Reducing the cost of certification testing even further, perhaps absorbing it completely
Institute “Cram for Exam” sessions before groups of students attempt certification exam
Many benefits that enhance your programDiscounted certification testing ($US60)Microsoft E-learningFree MSDNAA Free MCT membership for one instructorFree TechNet membershipAccess to Microsoft E-reference libraryLab licenses for Microsoft OfficeMarketing assistance

primary curriculum; could be E-learningCan use any other material as secondary source
