The convenience of online classes is a blessing for the Baker College of Flint student, one of more than 19,000 Baker enrollees across the state working toward degrees either partially or completely online. Some 890 students at the local campus, on Bristol Road in Flint Township, are taking classes entirely online.

Students such as Mikolajczak enjoy the flexibility. "Working in retail like I did, you never know if you'll be able to get available the same time every week, so taking classes online let me do the work when I was able to find the time," said Mikolajczak, 26, who currently works at the book store for Baker Online.

"I've got six classes left (to complete a degree) and I know I'd be farther behind if it weren't for online classes. I'd have made it work, but it would have been a lot harder."
