HISTORY
L
oma Linda University has grown out of the institution founded at Loma Linda,
California, by the Seventh-day Adventist church in 1905. The original schools—
Nursing and Medicine––have been joined by Allied Health Professions, Dentistry,
Public Health, the Graduate School, and the Faculty of Religion.
The University, operated by the Seventh-day Adventist church, is committed to the
vision of its founders and is sustained by its close association with the church.
Loma Linda University is a Seventh-day Adventist coeducational, health-sciences
institution located in inland southern California. It is part of the Seventh-day Adventist
system of higher education. Professional curricula are offered by the Schools of Allied
Health Professions, Dentistry, Public Health, Medicine, and Nursing. Graduate programs
in various biomedical sciences are offered by departments of the schools. The profession-
al curricula of the University are approved by their respective professional organizations.
The most current campus census figures (2000-2001) indicate that the core of the
combined faculties consists of 1,023 full-time teachers. Part-time and voluntary teachers,
largely clinicians in the professional curricula, bring the total to 2,199. Men and women
from 96 nations are represented in the 2000-2001 enrollment of 3,325.
PHILOSOPHY
A
s implied by its motto, “TO MAKE MAN WHOLE,” the University affirms these
tenets as central to its view of education:
God is the creator and sustainer of the universe.
Mankind’s fullest development entails a growing understanding of the individ-
ual in relation both to God and society.
The quest for truth and professional expertise, in an environment permeated
by religious values, benefits the individual and society and advances the min-
istry of the Seventh-day Adventist church.

OUR MISSION
Our Mission
L
oma Linda University, a Seventh-day Adventist Christian health-sciences institu-
tion, seeks to further the healing and teaching ministry of Jesus Christ “to make
man whole” by:
Educating ethical and proficient Christian health professionals and scholars
through instruction, example, and the pursuit of truth;
Expanding knowledge through research in the biological, behavioral, physi-
cal, and environmental sciences and applying this knowledge to health and
disease;
Providing comprehensive, competent, and compassionate health care for the
whole person through faculty, students, and alumni.
In harmony with our heritage and global mission:
We encourage personal and professional growth through integrated develop-
ment of the intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions of each
member of the University community and those we serve.
We promote an environment that reflects and builds respect for the diversity
of humanity as ordained by God.
We seek to serve a worldwide community by promoting healthful living, caring
for the sick, and sharing the good news of a loving God.
To achieve our mission we are committed to:
OUR STUDENTS
O
ur primary responsibility is the education of students, who come from diverse
ethnic and cultural backgrounds, enabling them to acquire the foundation of
knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, and behaviors appropriate for their chosen
academic or health care ministry. We nurture their intellectual curiosity. We facilitate
their development into active, independent learners. We provide continuing educational
opportunities for our alumni and professional peers. We encourage a personal Christian
faith that permeates the lives of those we educate.
