Our Mission
The Division of Pre-Health aims to prepare and equip our students with the tools needed to excel in health professional schools. Through individualized instruction, hand-crafted guidance, and compassionate care, we aim to assist La Sierra students every step of way in their journey of becoming holistic healthcare professionals.
The Pre-Health Division at La Sierra University provides programs designed to help students complete the prerequisites for their desired health- related track. There are two pre-health paths depending on your preferred program. The first requires students to complete a Bachelor’s Degree while fulfilling their pre-health prerequisites. The other, allows students to complete only their prerequisites at La Sierra University and transfer out to complete their degree at the institution of their choosing.
