FOR WHOM INTENDED The goal and watchword of the school from its inception has been service. It was founded for the training of those who wish to serve; therefore, those who wish an acedemic background as a means to Christian service and who are willing to follow the will of God for their lives will find at Biola Bible College the curricula and facilities to achieve this goal. Specifically, those who are high school graduates and desire Bible College training in an atmosphere of firm Christian belief and service may be classified in the following groups: 1. Christian students who have not made a definite decision for their future service but who desire a high type of academic and Biblical training. 2. Young men and women who desire a liberal arts major in one of the fol lowing fields: Education, English, History, Philosophy, or Psychology (See No. 5).* 3. Young men and women desiring a major in Bible for further Christian service whether here or on the mission field. 4. Young people desiring to train for the educational work of the church.
5. Young men and women desiring elementary teaching credentials. 6. Those preparing to meet the musical requirements of the church.
7. Men already in the ministry and missionaries on furlough who feel the need of a more thorough .,academic training and knowledge of English Bible.
* Every academic major requires a minimum of 30 hours of Bible and Doctrine.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT The conduct of a Biola Bible College student is expected to conform to the highest Christian standard. The rule by which he lives is the earnest striving for God's approval and the conscious protection of his Christian testimony. Specifically, there are certain practices which are contrary to the standards of Biola Bible College and from which, therefore, all students are to refrain as long as they are in school: the use of alcoholic beverages or tobacco, attendance at commercial theatres, dancing, the use of playing cards, and gambling in any form.
