Human Biology: Pre–Chiropractic Concentration (71 units)
Philosophy 215, Introduction to Ethics, is strongly recommended for Human Biology. Students in the pre–chiropractic Human Biology program sequence are exempt from general education requirements in literature (3) and World Civilization (3). The student is also exempt from the last semester residency requirement. Students in the Pre–Chiropractic program must take both semesters of Organic Chemistry at Biola. If Organic Chemistry is transferred in to Biola, the student must take additional upper division electives to meet the graduation requirements.
Note:
A Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology with a concentration in Pre–Chiropractic is offered in cooperation with the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic at the Southern California University of the Health Sciences (LACC) upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. 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 the final year. Upon successful completion of the program, the student receives a B.S. degree with a major in Human Biology from Biola. Upon successful completion of the entire chiropractic program and examinations the student receives the D.C. degree from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. The student should be aware the 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. Ethics is strongly recommended. The upper division biology course requirements to be taken at LACC are are General Anatomy I, General Histology, General Anatomy II, Neuroscience, Systemic Histology, Systemic Physiology and Micro/Immuniology.

Writing Competency Students in the Pre–Chiropractic concentration may use the paper written in the Organic Chemistry class as their writing competency paper. The student may also opt to make a portfolio of writing samples as outlined in the departmental handbook to complete this requirement.
Biological Science Minor
Minor Requirements A Biological Sciences Minor is offered with the completion of 20 units, 12 of which must be upper division. The General Biology courses listed below are required. The remaining elective units are to be approved by a department adviser. Please note that many upper division biology courses require chemistry as a prerequisite. Chemistry courses do not count toward the Biological Sciences Minor.
The minimum required pre–chiropractic courses taken at Biola are:

Biological Principles: Lecture 3 Unifying principles of biology with emphasis on human organ systems. Notes No lab is required, but Biology 110 is the lab course designed to accompany this course. Biology 100 without the lab (110) will not receive transfer credit at most other universities. Not open to Biological Science and Human Biology majors. 2 Observational and investigative approach to surveying a range of biological organisms and examining selected human systems. Notes: Three hours lab, one hour lecture/discussion designed to be taken with Biology 100. Not open to Biological Science and Human Biology majors. Lab fee: $40. Observational Biology Laboratory General Biology I 3 Introductory course for majors emphasizing the principles of cellular and molecular biology, genetics, and development. 1 This laboratory accompanies General Biology I and is divided between observational and experimental approaches, with emphasis on the collection and interpretation of quantitative data. Frequent lab discussion of relevant issues and literature will be included. Notes Lab fee: $60. General Biology I Laboratory
