CRANDALL UNIVERSITY

Crandall University is a Baptist Christian liberal arts university located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is affiliated with the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada, which is part of Canadian Baptist Ministries.

The university has a rich history that dates back to its founding in 1949 as the United Baptist Bible Training School (UBBTS). Initially, it served as both a secondary school and a Bible school under the auspices of the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada. Over the course of two decades, the institution gradually shifted its focus toward post-secondary programs. In 1968, UBBTS transitioned into a Bible and junior Christian liberal arts college. Subsequently, in 1970, the name was changed to Atlantic Baptist College (ABC).

A concerted effort to expand the institution’s faculty and enhance the quality of education led to ABC’s ability to grant full Bachelor of Arts degrees in 1983. During this period, the campus was situated along Salisbury Road, west of Moncton’s central business district.

In 1996, the university relocated to a new campus on the Gorge Road, north of Moncton’s central business district. As a reflection of its increased student enrollment and academic accreditation, the institution adopted the name Atlantic Baptist University (ABU) in 2003. ABU’s sports teams, known as “The Blue Tide,” began competing under this banner.

In 2008, the Atlantic Baptist University Act was passed by the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, further solidifying the university’s status. However, on August 21, 2009, the university underwent another name change, becoming Crandall University, in honor of Reverend Joseph Crandall, a pioneering Baptist minister in the maritime region. Concurrently, the university’s athletic teams became known as “The Crandall Chargers.”
