La Sierra University school section split to form La Sierra College Preparatory School. The preparatory school is now named La Sierra Academy and is still located near the university. It was first accredited as a four-year liberal arts college in 1946.

In 1967, the college merged with Loma Linda University, becoming Loma Linda University's College of Arts and Sciences. During this time, La Sierra's School of Education, School of Business and Management, and its Division of Continuing Studies were founded. In
