TRAVEL ABROAD
FALL SEMESTER ABROAD
EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE 1978 is a low-cost quality summer program for college freshmen or sophomores. A seven week in-residence session offers an integrated package of course offerings in foundational areas and is richly supplemented by field trips. The program is built around the course The West and the World and offers in addition such subjects as, Introduction to Art, Introduction to Philosophy, Introduction to Psychology, and Introduction to World Literature. One subject may be taken in addition to the West and the World during the seven weeks. An optional week of travels follows the seven-week session . There is no foreign language requirement and all students must meet normal Biola College admission requirements. For further information please write the Director of Summer School. Because of economic and political considerations, programs abroad are under constant review and may be canceled upon short notice. In addition to the special seven weeks in Europe in the summer of 1978, there are other opportunities for travel each summer and occasionally at other times during the year. Tours are directed by those with experience in travel and are offered at a nominal price. Although these tours are not limited to Biola College students, it is expected that those joining a tour group will be in basic agreement with the Christian viewpoint and the standards of conduct held by Biola College. In addition, it is expected that the individual' s health will be strong enough to stand the demanding rigors of travel. For information write the Office of Admissions and Records. SUMMER SCHOOL A growing and continuing summer school program provides students with the opportunity for a greater degree of flexibility in planning their total program. Students may enrich their course of study and reduce the overall time spent in college, or decrease their regular course load by careful selection of summer school courses. Visiting students find it refreshing to study in a different atmosphere and perhaps a different locale, and entering students find it helpful in gaining advanced standing. Work taken may be applied to both the degree and the teaching credential programs. Instruction is offered in standard courses by the regular Biola faculty and capable visiting professors. Courses offered include art, Bible, theology, Greek, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, biological science, sociology, and other subjects, including education courses for teaching credential candidates. Credit is also available in connection with excellent foreign tours conducted during the summer. Tuition, room , and board are lower than regular charges at private colleges; total costs are competitive with state summer school charges. Certain courses or workshops may be offered in the Summer School that are not listed in this bulletin. Courses may be innovative or the content may be in response to specialized needs or current topics . Such courses will be described in the separate summer school bulletin. Requests for the summer school bulletin, which is available about February 15, and application forms for admission should be addressed to the Office of Admissions and Records. Admission to the summer program does not presuppose or grant acceptance to the college for the regular school year.
An in-residence program offering an academic semester in Europe, Latin America , or the Middle East. Students are given the opportunity to broaden their perspectives and integrate learning with experience. Generally, the classwork is richly supplemented by field trips. Classes are conducted in English and courses of instruction and credits are the same as those on the La Mirada campus. Overseas programs were held in Germany the fall of 1973 and 1974. Because of economic and political instability, programs abroad are under constant review. An academic semester is again planned for Germany the fall of 1977. Course offerings are primarily in the area of general education requirements on the freshmen and sophomore level, but some upper classmen with an interest in the humanities may qualify.
