Emmaus Bible College

Bible college students sit and read the Bible all day?  Do you imagine that Iowa is all cornfields?  You may have the wrong perception of studying at Emmaus.

Our college is located in Dubuque, a safe, lovely city of rolling hills and five colleges located on the Mississippi River, half-way between Chicago and Des Moines.  We are an accredited, bachelor’s degree-granting institution of higher learning.  Our students come from 35 states and a number of foreign countries.  They pick us because they can study the Bible and train for their professions at the same time.  All of our students want to serve the Lord, but the majority does not go to seminary and enter ministry full time.  All will be active in servant-leadership in their churches, however.  We teach the Bible with an emphasis on New Testament principles.  Sixty percent of our students are from the Plymouth Brethren assemblies, and forty percent from other evangelical churches.

Our faculty is committed to not only educating our students, but also developing personal, mentoring relationships with them. It is common for faculty to open their homes to students, as well as serve shoulder-to-shoulder with them in a local church.  Though our faculty demonstrates scholarship, they are just as committed to training students within the context of a Christian community that offers maximum opportunity for spiritual growth and experience in hands-on Christian service.  Our students learn how to minister in the real world to real people with real needs.

The Emmaus Bible College graduation rate for 2007/2008 was 76.92%.  This number represents the percentage of certificate or degree seeking undergraduate students who completed their intended programs within 150% of the published program length.
