The degree and certificate curricula at Loma Linda University are under continuous review and are, therefore, subject to change and improvement without prior notice, as the need occurs. The University also offers nondegree and short courses throughout the United States and globally to meet the continuing education and extension program needs of alumni, health professionals, and lay persons in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and in the community. Most degree courses are approved for continuing education credit.
School-specific certificates are awarded upon completion of organized programs of study at the postsecondary level. Students register for courses through the Office of University Records. However, certificates are issued by the school, which maintains records of the certificates and their awarding. Financial aid is not available to students registered in school-specific programs. See school programs in each school for a listing of school-specific certificates available.
The Faculty of Graduate Studies oversees Ph.D. and research master's degrees, as well as combined degrees programs.
