Crandall University is a Christian university in Moncton, New Brunswick, founded in 1949 by the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada.
Crandall University was founded in 1949 as the United Baptist Bible Training School in Moncton, New Brunswick, by the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada (CBAC), which continues to support the university and elect appointments to its Board of Governors. In 1983, the New Brunswick Legislature granted Atlantic Baptist College a charter and authority to offer baccalaureate degrees. Amendments to the Act in 2008 and 2010 permitted degrees beyond the baccalaureate level and changed the name to Crandall University, in honour of Joseph Crandall.
The mission of Crandall University is transforming lives through quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith. The university's address is 333 Gorge Road, Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, and its mailing address is Box 6004, Moncton, New Brunswick.
Crandall offers undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs, including undergraduate programs in Arts, Arts & Science, Business Administration, Organizational Management, Science and Theology. In 2013, the university began offering graduate degrees in Organizational Management and Education. The Senate of Crandall University determines all academic standards, and classes are small so students get to know their professors.
In 1996, the College moved from its original Salisbury Road campus to a new 200-acre campus on Gorge Road, on land donated by Mrs. Ruth Colburne. In 2010, the university opened the Stultz Hall academic building, and in 2012 the Mitton Court apartment building. Facilities listed include Colburne House Residence, Mitton Court Apartments, campus wireless internet, a cafeteria, a gym, computer labs, the George A. Rawlyk Library and Counselling Services.
Admission routes listed include high school graduation for undergraduate programs, Early Fall Admission, admission for homeschooled students, IB/AP students seeking university credit assessment, and transfer students.
