Biola University 2015–16 Catalog
Single Subject Pedagogy Secondary Curriculum
PHIL 215 - Introduction to Ethics, is strongly recommended for all Human Biology majors. Concentrations The Human Biology major offers a concentration in Pre-Health Care Professional and one in Pre-Chiropractic. Pre-Chiropractic A Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology with a concentration in Pre-Chiropractic is offered in cooperation with the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS). Students attend Biola for three years taking courses in biology, chemistry, physics, biblical studies and the liberal arts. The upper-division biology courses are taken at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, at SCUHS. Upon successful completion of the required courses, the student receives a B.S. degree with a major in Human Biology from Biola. Upon successful completion of the entire chiropractic program student receives the D.C. degree from the Southern California University of Health Sciences’ Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC). The student should be aware that LACC has a minimum GPA requirement of 2.5, and that all transfer courses must be completed with a “C” grade (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher. A course in ethics before application to LACC is strongly recommended. The upper-division biology course requirements to be taken at LACC are General Anatomy I, General Histology, General Anatomy II, Neuroscience, Systemic Histology, Systemic Physiology and Micro/ Immunology. The minimum required pre-chiropractic courses taken at Biola are: Core Requirements Students in the Pre-Chiropractic program must take at least 8 credits of upper-division science at Biola to meet the graduation requirements. These credits must include CHEM 301/311 Organic Chemistry I and Lab. The remaining 4 credits can be either CHEM 302/312 Organic Chemistry II and Lab or upper-division BIOS courses. If Organic Chemistry is transferred into Biola, the student must take 8 credits of upper-division BIOS courses to meet the graduation requirements. BIOS 111 General Biology I Credit(s): 3.

Human Biology, B.S. Mission The mission of the Bachelor of Science in Human Biology is to provide an academically stimulating and challenging environment for intellectual and spiritual growth, preparing students to pursue careers and advanced degrees in health related fields. Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of the practice of science and scientific methodology (ULO 1). 2. Demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of the bio- molecular basis for life, emphasizing its application to human structures and functions (ULO 3). 3. Describe and classify the human form, structure, and function (ULO 1). 4. Demonstrate an ability to integrate faith and learning as it relates to Human Biology (ULO 2). Degree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. The major offers two different concentrations. Admission Recommendations Recommended high school courses are: one year of biology, one year of chemistry, three years of mathematics, and two years of foreign language. One year of physics is desirable. English Requirements Students wishing to enroll in any courses in the Biological Sciences must be eligible to take ENGL 112 or 113 or must have the permission of the instructor to take the course. Graduate/Professional School Requirements The student should be aware that most graduate programs and many professional schools require an overall minimum GPA of 3.0 and that a grade of “C” or better was earned for all science courses. General Education Requirements Human Biology 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 the first 4 credits in college. Students in the Pre-Chiropractic Human Biology program sequence are exempt from general education requirements in Literature (3 credits) and World Civilization (3 credits). The student is also exempt from the last semester Biola residency requirement.
