Maranatha Baptist University
Maranatha Baptist University is a private Baptist university in Watertown, Wisconsin.
The institution was founded in 1968 as Maranatha Baptist Bible College by B. Myron Cedarholm. The college was named for the Aramaic phrase Maranatha, which means "Lo, He cometh" (I Corinthians 16:22). Cedarholm helped raise $150,000 to purchase the Watertown campus, now valued at $18 million, from the Brothers of the Holy Cross located in South Bend, Indiana. Maranatha Baptist Bible College opened just three months later, on September 10, 1968, with 173 students and 27 faculty members. Maranatha awarded degrees to the first graduating class, 13 students, on May 31, 1969.
Maranatha was chartered by the State of Wisconsin in 1968 and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission in 1993. In 2013, the institution changed its name to Maranatha Baptist University.
The current president is David Anderson, who began his duties during the summer of 2023. Since 2021, Matthew Davis has functioned as the university's CEO. At the end of the spring semester of 2023, former president Marty Marriott transitioned to the role of chancellor, only the second person to hold that title in Maranatha's history.
Since the college's beginning, more than 40 different building projects, including the Cedarholm Library, dormitories, a science lab and classroom building, and the Dining Complex, have been completed. The second decade of the 21st century saw Maranatha Online and Distance Learning and Maranatha Baptist Seminary solidly established.
Maranatha Baptist University offers nine associate degrees, twenty-nine bachelor's degrees, nine master's degrees and one doctorate. Maranatha Baptist Bible Institute and Maranatha Baptist Seminary, operated by the university and located on the Watertown campus, offer specialized degrees for those pursuing Christian ministry. The university has two colleges, three schools and a Seminary and Bible Institute:
Maranatha has 78.5% of classes with fewer than 20 students and has a 12:1 student-faculty ratio.
Maranatha has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission since 1993. Education programs at MBU are recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for purposes of teacher certification. The university's nursing department is approved by the Wisconsin State Board of Nursing Department and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
