The Baker School of Business, officially named the Tommy and Victoria Baker School of Business, is one of the five schools comprising The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina. The school offers Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Business Administration with several business focus areas (pathways) and minors. It was established in 2002 as The Citadel reorganized its existing departments into the five schools.[1] The school is located in Bond Hall, but will relocate to the new Bastin Hall south of campus upon completion.[2]

On February 22, 2017, The Citadel announced that Tommy Baker and his wife had made a gift to endow business programs, and that the school would be named in their honor.[3]

The school has been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business since 1996, and the MBA program is ranked among the Princeton Review's Top 282 Business Schools.[4]

The MBA program is offered exclusively part-time, while cadets pursue undergraduate degrees on a full-time basis. Additionally, civilians can complete their business degrees in the evening through The Citadel Graduate College or the Lowcountry Graduate Center.
