IdentitySeventh Day Adventists

Overview

AdventHealth University is a Seventh-day Adventist institution located directly on the AdventHealth Orlando hospital campus in Florida, training students almost exclusively for healthcare careers rather than offering a general liberal arts curriculum. Its identity is built entirely around clinical preparation, integrated with a Seventh-day Adventist whole-person model of care that treats spiritual and physical health as connected.

Academics

Nursing, medical imaging, and physician assistant studies are the core programs, each benefiting directly from the hospital-campus location, which gives students clinical exposure and facilities access uncommon for an undergraduate-serving institution of this size.

Getting in

Admission is program-specific and competitive within each clinical track, since class sizes in fields like the physician assistant program are necessarily small and tied to clinical placement capacity.

After graduation

Graduates move directly into clinical roles, often within the AdventHealth hospital system itself, giving the university an unusually direct pipeline from classroom to employer.

Worth knowing

Seventh-day Adventist observance, including Sabbath-related scheduling considerations, is part of campus life; students should understand this faith context going in.
