Emmaus Bible College is a private Bible college in Dubuque, Iowa, affiliated with the Plymouth Brethren.[3] 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.[4][5] Emmaus began offering correspondence courses a year later, with the target audience being military personnel.[6] The college relocated to Chicago, Illinois, in 1947. In 1984, it moved to Dubuque, Iowa and was renamed Emmaus Bible College.[7] The college is in a large facility that was formerly home of Aquinas Institute of Theology, a Roman Catholic institution.
