Division of Humanities and Fine Arts
Dr. Jack Schwarz, Chairperson
The Humanities and Fine Arts Division offers majors in art, communication , English , humanities, and music. Within each of these broad majors there is a diversity of specific programs available, depending upon the student' s individual interests and goals. Although there are no majors in foreign languages or philosophy, a student may major in humanities with an emphasis in Greek, German, Spanish, or philosophy. Because the areas under humanities and fine arts aim toward an understanding of man - his ideas and aspirations , his search for spiritual identity and meaning - they educate the student to communicate that understanding in practical and creative ways through lay ministries and church-related vocations. They also prepare students for teaching and further graduate work.

Objectives: The Art Department seeks to aid in the development of men and women for the life and production of the artist; to provide guidance in the development of a biblical philosophy of art that relates to the person, his Creator, and in turn, to the world. Upon completion of the art major, the student should have begun to develop an adequate foundational understanding of various areas of expression: skills in areas of two and three-dimensional Fine Arts , Advertising Design and Art Education. Through development of skills, philosophy and historical perspectives of art, the Biola graduates should be prepared for post graduate study or a career in art in secular or Christian related enterprises. Department Major: 50 units of Art of which 33 are specified requirements (see department for listing). The remaining 17 units are art electives.
