REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION The Bachelor of Arts degree is offered by Biola Bible College. Students may major in the fields of Bible, Christian Education, education, English speech, music, philosophy, and social science. All students with liberal arts majors are required to have the basic 30 hours in Bible and doctrine stipulated by the Accrediting Association of Bible Institutes and Bible Colleges. Those desiring to major in Bible will take more than the basic 30 hours in Bible and doctrine but will not have a sufficient concentration of subjects to graduate with a second major. In the education major, requiring five years of residence, 158 semester hours are required for graduation. In each of the other majors, 128 semester hours are required for graduation, 50 of them being in the upper division. In addition to these academic hours, each student is assigned to some form of practical Christian service, for which is given one unit of credit each semester except the first. These Christian Service credits are required for graduation but are not computed in the student’s academic load. In addition to receiving satisfactory scholastic rating in all required courses, a student must give satisfactory evidence of good Christian character and soundness of doctrine, and sign the unabridged form of the Statement of Doctrine. An essay, not exceeding 1500 words, on any Bible subject the student may select, is a graduation requirement and shall be submitted by each prospective senior not later than the eighth week of the fall semester preceding his graduation. SCHOOL HONORS Students completing their course with a grade point average of 2.25 are graduated Cum Laude. The Phi Alpha Chi Christian Scholastic Honor Society was established to give recognition to high scholastic attainment in Christian colleges and seminaries. The Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated, has a chapter of Phi Alpha Chi. Each year elections to its membership are made from the members of the graduating class who have a scholastic average of 2.5 or better throughout their course. The charter permits no more than fifteen per cent of the College graduates to be so honored.
