The Team
At La Sierra University we want our students to push beyond the perceived limits of their potential each day through each experience and interaction they have in and out of the classroom. It takes a true team to make this happen.
Our courses and experiences are designed and delivered by faculty who not only have
the highest level of education available in their respective fields, but who are also active in research, publications, consulting work, and other opportunities for active engagement.Our caring professional staff and student leaders build an environment where our students can learn and thrive during their college experience. Our entire team looks forward to engaging with you.
