Come share in the excitement of Maranatha through the Destination MBU Road Trip! This cost-effective and time-efficient experience offers high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors the chance to ride the MBU coach bus to Watertown, Wisconsin, and see college life here firsthand. Over the course of the visit, Road Trip guests will live life as students of Maranatha without the academic responsibility.
Destination MBU Road Trip will allow guests to see for themselves that MBU might be where God is leading them. Prospective students will find Maranatha to be a university which values the importance of a God-centered worldview in education and a high academic standard.
