AIR FORCE ROTC
Through arrangements with the University of Southern California both the two and four-year Air Force ROTC programs and two, three, and four-year scholarships are available to qualified men and women attending Biola College. Both aptitude and physical examinations are required. Scholarships cover costs of enrollment, books, and a monthly subsistence allowance. The subsistence allowance is paid also to non-scholarship cadets enrolled in the two-year program and in the last two years of the four-year program. Freshman men and women may enter the four-year program by enrolling in the first year Aerospace Studies Course (ASl00) at USC. Students desiring the two-year program should apply early in the fall of the year prior to the year in which they wish to enter. Qualified students who are physically qualified and plan to enter pilot training receive 25 hours of free flight instruction during their last year in the program. Academic credit is granted for AFROTC courses in accordance with institutional policies governing transfer credit. The programs lead to commissions as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force Reserve. Note: Four-year
scholarships must be applied for before December 15 in the year prior to entering college. Interested students should call the Air Force ROTC office at USC, (213) 746-2670. BIOLA COLLEGE EXTENSION
Biola offers regular college-level studies in extension centers to serve the Christian community more fully than is possible when restricted to the La Mirada campus. All courses are identical to those taught on the home campus and are designed, staffed, and administered by Biola College and taught in rented facilities. · Centers are currently in several locations and more are in the process of being established. The extension center programs enable Christian students to supplement community college or other higher education studies with distinctively Christian collegiate level instruction for balance in their education. Many students anticipate future transfer to Biola and desire to have completed some of the required Bible and Theology coursework prior to on-campus matriculation. Additionally, many Christian laymen desire to enrich both themselves and their ministries by enrolling (either for credit or as an auditor) in these extension courses. Students not currently enrolled at Biola College or one of its extension centers must file an application for admission to the extension program. Acceptance into the extension program does not guarantee acceptance into the regular degree programs of the college at the La Mirada campus. The nature of education by extension is to move the college classroom to the community. Thus , the available student services at the extension locations are specific to meet those needs. Those services essential to a residential campus setting are not furnished. On-site personnel serve as the link to other student services required by the extension student. Adequate library resources are provided at each extension location to support the specific courses offered. Extension students are permitted access to the on-campus library. They are also encouraged to use local library resources. The doctrinal statement found in the current Biola College catalog is the same one used at the school's founding and is adhered to without mental reservation by our administration, faculty and staff. This likewise applies to extension center locations. Extension tuition is currently $40.00 per unit for credit and $25.00 per unit for auditors. In addition , each student is assessed a $5. 00 service fee per semester enrolled.
