La Sierra University

Nestled in suburban Riverside, California, La Sierra University is a private, Seventh-day Adventist institution known for its commitment to the motto "To Seek, To Know, To Serve." With a rich history of academic evolution and a dedication to service, LSU provides a distinctive educational experience for its 1,609 students. The university cultivates an environment where faith and learning intertwine, fostering intellectual curiosity and a spirit of community engagement.

La Sierra's journey began in 1922 as a modest academy, undergoing several transformations, including a significant period as the La Sierra Campus of Loma Linda University from 1967 to 1990. This unique history has shaped La Sierra into the independent university it is today, maintaining strong ties as a major feeder school for Loma Linda's renowned medical programs. Its campus, spanning 150 acres, reflects both its historical roots and modern developments, including the Riverwalk area.

Academically, La Sierra University boasts a robust liberal arts foundation, alongside specialized professional schools like the Tom and Vi Zapara School of Business and the H.M.S.Richards Divinity School. The university's commitment to excellence is evidenced by its accreditation from WSCUC and AAA, and its impressive track record of winning multiple national and world titles in the Enactus (formerly Students in Free Enterprise) competition. Students at La Sierra are encouraged to embrace a holistic education that prepares them for meaningful careers and impactful lives.
