It is dedicated to forming leaders through the study of the master works of Western civilization, with a special emphasis on the Bible and Christian authors. Students in the program, who come from a variety of majors, are outstanding examples of academic ability, Christian character, and potential for leadership. They learn in a rigorous discussion group format to think and express themselves clearly in both verbal and written forms. Program Plan The Torrey Honors Institute is the most rigorous general education course of studies at this university. Its courses fulfill the liberal arts requirements for a four-year degree at Biola in the following areas: Communication, English, Literature, Fine Arts, History, Philoso- phy and Behavioral Science. Torrey courses also fulfill the biblical and theological studies requirements (30 credits) for a four-year degree at Biola. Students need 60 credits in Torrey to satisfy these general education requirements. To gain a four-year degree, stu- dents must meet all other academic, social, and spiritual require- ments of Biola University. Torrey Houses The curriculum included in the Morgan and Johnson House mod- els are the same and meet the general education requirements as reflected below.
