Nick attended Baker College of Muskegon, Michigan until joining the Navy Reserve. Because of the required training and travel, Baker College Online became the practical choice for continuing his education while serving. When Nick was deployed to Kuwait, he thought his education would be put on hold. Yet he soon discovered that even though he was half a world away from home, he was able to continue his studies. While in Kuwait, Nick earned his BA in Business Administration (with a flexstudy in aviation) a degree he hopes will help him when he applies for Officer Training.

“Everyone at Baker pitched in to help me,” he says. “My instructors, advisors, even the Dean, were always there to answer my questions and they were very understanding and flexible. They never left me hanging. In fact, I got more personalized assistance while I was deployed in Kuwait than my fiancé received from the college she was attending back in the states! I’m planning on a career in the Navy, and I believe that my degree is going to help me advance through the ranks.”
