Wisconsin offers many fine institutions of higher learning, both public and private. Students with a diversity of academic goals and cultural backgrounds can select a college or university experience that not only prepares them for the world of work but also builds their view of the world. Laying the moral and ethical basis for their professional conduct is as important to some as the practical skills to carry out the job. A Christian college education in Wisconsin does that for many.

Maranatha Baptist Bible College

While many young people select Maranatha Baptist College as an undergraduate education program that will prepare them for full-time ministry work through the local church, many others go on to careers in public education, business, government and medicine. Along with the biblical studies, students receive a strong academic preparation in all traditional subject areas. While the name of the school refers to the Baptist tradition, the school is independent of any denomination and adheres to a conservative, fundamentalist perspective and values.

As a Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools member, Northland International University is a highly regarded institution of higher learning whose credits transfer to state universities and colleges.
