Loma Linda University has a growing list of non-degree general education courses so that applicants to LLU can get the classes they need to fulfill entrance and degree requirements.

Loma Linda University offers these courses to both current and incoming students to meet general education (GE), prerequisite, corequisite, and elective coursework requirements.

Courses are offered in both online and traditional formats.

The details about these courses are available from the navigation bar to the right.

The courses most often needed by students who are applying to a health care professions program include: anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, college algebra, introduction to physics, introduction to chemistry, microbiology, English 2, and humanities.

In addition to course offerings, Loma Linda University offers advisement for students who need assistance in finding proper courses for their educational goals, registration help, and general academic guidance.
