About This School

Loma Linda University is a private nonprofit institution located in Loma Linda, California with approximately 867 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $93,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Loma Linda University (LLU) is a private Seventh-day Adventist health sciences university in Loma Linda, California. As of 2019, the university comprises eight schools and a Faculty of Graduate Studies. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system. The university is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). Its on-campus church has around 7,000 members.

This is a strong option for students committed to health sciences — with median earnings of $93,600 ten years out and a relatively modest $20,854 in median debt, the financial outcomes are genuinely solid. As a Seventh-day Adventist institution with fewer than 900 undergraduates, it's a tight-knit, faith-integrated environment that will feel like a great fit for some and too narrow for others. If you're pre-med, pre-dental, or allied health-focused and aligned with its religious mission, the focused curriculum and career outcomes make it worth a serious look.
