Adventist University of Health Sciences, a Christian institution, is built on the belief that God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. This concept provides the foundation for the wholistic approach Adventist University takes toward human life. The general education curriculum endeavors to enhance students’ search for God, encourage a respect for themselves and others, and expand their appreciation for all aspects of creation.

The faculty believe that a quality educational program should offer students the opportunity to develop the personal and professional skills which will enable them to succeed in today’s complex and fast-changing world. To achieve this success, graduates should be knowledgeable in a broad range of disciplines, including religion; the humanities; the natural, behavioral, and social sciences; health and well-being; oral and written communication; mathematics; and computer science.
