About

Emmaus University (formerly Emmaus Bible College) is a private Christian university in Dubuque, Iowa, United States, affiliated with the Plymouth Brethren. In keeping with its background as a Bible college, it offers double majors in both professional and biblical studies.
It was established as Emmaus Bible School in 1941 in Toronto, Ontario, by Ed Harlow, John Smart, and Ernest Tatham. Emmaus began offering correspondence courses a year later, with the target audience being military personnel. The institution relocated to Chicago, Illinois, in 1947. In 1984, it moved to Dubuque, Iowa and was renamed Emmaus Bible College. After launching a master's degree program through its Emmaus Global Campus in late 2024, the institution announced a name change to Emmaus University. The university is in a large facility that was formerly home of Aquinas Institute of Theology, a Roman Catholic institution.
