La Sierra University offers its students a general education curriculum rooted in the concept of liberal education as a formative and transformative process -- one that provides students with a permanent foundation for learning through the development of basic human capacities.

At La Sierra University, general education distinctively deals with nothing less than our common humanity -- those essential capacities and qualities that enable us to participate effectively and responsibly in a variety of shared intellectual, social, and moral contexts -- and contributes to the creation of a recognizable “La Sierra graduate.” Only then can the University fulfill its goal to mold citizens fitted with “recognized excellence, integrity and compassion.”

We are glad you're here!
