La Sierra University (La Sierra or LSU) is a Seventh-day Adventist co-educational university located in Riverside, California, United States, and accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Adventist Accrediting Association.
Founded in 1922 as La Sierra Academy, it later became La Sierra College, a liberal arts college, and then was merged into Loma Linda University in 1967. In 1990, La Sierra separated from Loma Linda University to become an independent institution. La Sierra offers undergraduate, graduate and doctoral level degrees.
Since becoming independent in 1990, La Sierra has won multiple national and world titles in the Students in Free Enterprise competition. In the late 2000s, controversy arose involving the teaching of evolution in La Sierra's science curriculum.

Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”
