Loma Linda University School of Allied Health Professions offers basic science courses for students preparing to enter into one of our health-care related programs. These courses are offered on the Loma Linda campus.

Because of space limitations, priority enrollment is given to students who are planning to pursue a degree program at Loma Linda University. Others will be accommodated pending space availability.

Courses are taught by highly qualified LLU faculty with years of experience in preparing students for careers in various health-related professions. Taking introductory courses is a great way to prepare for future courses taught within our health-related degree programs by the same professors.
