It was founded by Fr Boniface Hardin, OSB and Jane Edward Schilling, CSJ in 1977 to serve low-income, minority, and adult learners.It was named after both civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King Jr. (died 1968) and St Martin de Porres (died 1639), patron saint of mixed-race people and all those seeking racial harmony.[2] (It is excluded from the designation Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) because it was founded after the cut off date of 1964.)Housed initially in a former church and school, the campus grew to include many other structures in the immediate area.Popular undergraduate degree programs at the university include Accounting, Addiction Counseling, Business Administration, Biology, Chemistry, Early Childhood Education, Environmental Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Sociology, Criminal Justice and Liberal Arts.
