The University (originally Keimyung Christian College) was founded in 1954 by the American missionary Edward Adams of the Northern Presbyterian Mission in conjunction with local church leaders of the Daegu area. Through subsequent growth and diversification, the college became Keimyung University in 1978. In 1981 the university merged with the Dongsan Presbyterian Hospital of Daegu, augmenting the university's medical school. Since 1980, KU has been moving to the new 450-acre Sungsuh Campus in the western district of Daegu.
