The Masters of Science degree education program in speech-language pathology at Loma Linda University is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing AssociationThe Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders program prepares students for careers in the profession of speech-language pathology. It provides a basis for graduate study and research at a more advanced level and encourages growth in independence. The clinical services of the department, Loma Linda University Medical Center and affiliated practicum sites provide the opportunity for supervised clinical experiences. These experiences represent the breadth and depth of the profession in a variety of settings. Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible for the Preliminary Speech-Language Pathology Services credential (California public schools). They are also eligible for the Temporary License in Speech-Language Pathology (California Department of Consumer Affairs). They are also prepared to seek employment as a Clinical Fellow. This is while working toward the Certificate of Clinical Competence through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Council for Clinical Certification. Full-time students who enter the program with an undergraduate degree in communicative disorders will complete the program in seven quarters of coursework. Students go through the program as a cohort, entering in the fall quarter. Initially, graduate courses are taught in the late afternoon/early evening and one Friday morning per month. This is in the first and second years, including the summer following the first year. All students are required to take clinical practicum (usually one morning or afternoon per week) each quarter. In the winter and spring quarters of the second year. students complete their full-time public-school placement and medical placement.

The School of Medicine's Division of Anatomy offers curricula leading to the Master of Science or the Doctor of Philosophy degree. The core curriculum offers a broad biomedical background. Course work provides opportunities for qualified students not only to study all aspects of human morphology from both didactic and investigative points of view but also to develop a special area of research interest. Study and research on other species and in other biomedical disciplines may be included in the student's curriculum. While working on a significant research problem, students are introduced to research methods through scientific literature and the laboratory. They acquire experience in scientific communication by participating in seminars, writing critical reviews, and reporting results of research experience either in thesis/dissertation form or as publishable/published papers. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is designed to prepare the graduate for a career in independent research and teaching in the university, clinical, biotechnological, or government environments. In addition to technical skills, doctoral degree students are expected to develop creativity and independence. The Master of Science degree provides content appropriate for persons preparing to teach at the secondary level or in related professional school areas, or for persons intending to pursue careers as research technicians.

The Master of Science in the Chaplaincy program is theological and clinical based chaplaincy education at Loma Linda University.

The core curriculum provides a broad background in molecular biology, immunology, and medical microbiology, and infectious diseases. Advanced courses allow each student to fully develop an area of interest. Research strengths of the program include cellular and systems neurosciences, bioinformatics, molecular biology, computational modeling, biostatistics and data analytics, radiation physics, functional/structural imaging, in vivo and in vitro physiology, as well as biomedical engineering. The thesis or research option for the Master of Science degree provides training for individuals who will become technicians involved in biomedical research in universities or in the biotechnology industry, and for medical technologists seeking specialized research training. The non-thesis Master of Science degree option provides content appropriate for secondary school teachers seeking advanced training in areas such as neuroscience, systems biology, bioinformatics, medical imaging; and for students seeking admission to a professional school, such as medicine or dentistry.
