What’s the best major to take to get into LLU?

With over 200 health science programs LLU accepts students from virtually every undergraduate major. Students pursuing a degree at LLU should choose a major that best fits his/her strengths and interests. The student must also take any prerequisites and satisfy any requirements for their selected LLU program. Please refer to explore.llu.edu for up to date prerequisite information.

What GPA do I need to have to get into LLU?

It depends on the program and how competitive the program is. It is important to understand the difference between a minimum GPA, an average GPA, and a competitive GPA. Competitive GPA’s can change every cycle. Students are strongly encouraged to contact their program of interest for up-to-date information or explore.llu.edu as soon as possible.

  1. Minimum GPA – the lowest GPA the program will consider for an application.
  2. Average GPA – the average GPA of a cohort group for any given cycle.
  3. Competitive GPA – the GPA that identifies the applicant for serious consideration among other applicants in the same cycle.

What is LLU looking for in a student?

The all-around package i.e.: team player, leader, service/mission oriented, academically competitive, integrity, understands our Aim and Mission, and has a passion for the “profession.”

What’s the best SDA college/university to attend to get into LLU?

LLU does NOT prefer one SDA College or university to another. Any statement contrary to this simply isn’t true! The SDA college or university that fits the student’s needs and interests is best.

Does LLU have a quota from each SDA college/university?

NO! All students are accepted on an individual basis. Each program/degree has varying requirements for prerequisites and GPA. Please check with the school/ department or LLU’s Explore site at explore.llu.edu to receive the most current information.

Does LLU give priority to SDA students?

Yes, however the student NEEDS to perform at a competitive level required by the program. Being an SDA student does not guarantee acceptance.

Do we give priority to students coming from SDA colleges/universities?

Yes. The student, however, must be at a competitive level as stated above. Students who have attended an SDA institution have experienced the SDA culture, have demonstrated their commitment to SDA education, and desire to further the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ.

What’s the advantage of going to an SDA college/ university?

  1. LLU is committed to supporting, encouraging, and continuing Seventh-day Adventist Christian education. Because of this, our desire when possible, is to accept students who have attended/graduated from our sister SDA colleges and universities.
  2. LLU visits all SDA college/universities multiple times a year giving interviews, assisting with advising, and sharing pertinent information with students on how best to apply and enroll at LLU.
  3. LLU updates advisors on all SDA university/ college campuses on a regular basis with information for specific programs, which are shared with prospective students.
  4. Because we have a network of Adventist education professionals, information can be passed on quickly and easily to the appropriate students interested in attending LLU. For the students at SDA college/ universities this is a very big advantage because they are getting the most current information from their professors/advisors before students at non- SDA college/universities would receive it.
