Physical Science, B.S. Mission
The mission of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences is to train and mentor students to become skilled scientists who will glorify God and be good stewards of His creation as they serve others in research, education, and industry. Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Science, students will be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the foundational principles related to the physical sciences (ULO 1). Demonstrate an ability to solve quantitative and conceptual technical problems related to the physical sciences (ULO 1). Demonstrate safe laboratory technique, proper use of appropriate equipment, and suitable results and data analysis (ULO 1). Obtain and use appropriate literature and resource materials related to the physical sciences (ULO 1). Summarize the key issues in science and faith and recognize the harmony possible while studying God’s creation (ULO 1, 2, and 3). Degree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Science is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate requirements and the departmental requirements. General Education Requirements Physical Science majors automatically meet the general education requirement of 8 credits of science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or 4 credits of college foreign language. GPA Requirements To continue in the program a student is required to have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in their first year of chemistry, physics and/or math courses taken at Biola. Depending on the major, these courses may include: CHEM 105 - General Chemistry I, MATH 105 - Calculus I, MATH 106 - Calculus II, PHSC 132 - General Physics I: Mechanics and Heat, PHSC 134 - General Physics I Laboratory, PHSC 233 - General Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism, PHSC 237 - General Physics II Laboratory.
