Courses are taught by highly qualified LLU faculty with years of experience in preparing students for careers in various health-related professions. Taking introductory basic science courses is a great way to prepare for future courses taught within our health-related degree programs by some of the same professors.
Courses are taught in the evenings for the convenience of working professionals who want to further their education.
