Choose one of the following. The required pre-engineering courses taken at Biola for most engineering programs also includes taking one of these two courses:
Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics A Bachelor of Science degree in engineering physics is awarded to students who complete the 3/2 engineering program at Biola and an approved engineering school. The degree requires completion of all the general education and Bible requirements at Biola along with a minimum of 50 pre-engineering units and completion of an accredited engineering program. Special arrangement has been made with the University of Southern California for this five- year, dual-degree program in liberal arts / sciences and engineering. Students attend Biola for three years taking courses in physics, chemistry, biblical studies and the liberal arts. The final two years are taken at the University of Southern California School of Engineering. Upon successful completion of the five-year program, a student receives a B.S. degree in Engineering Physics from Biola and a B.S. degree in Engineering from USC. Students interested in this 3/2 program with USC, or who choose to attend another accredited engineering school following a similar pattern, must plan their course of study under the supervision of the engineering advisor and with the approval of the department. The student should be aware that engineering schools often have a minimum GPA requirement for application. The program at USC currently requires a 3.0 GPA in core Math and Science courses. The required pre-engineering courses taken at Biola for most engineering programs are listed below. Other courses may be required for specific engineering programs.

Students in the engineering 3/2 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.
Note:
Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry The description of the Biochemistry program and the degree program requirements are given in the Chemistry section of this catalog. Teaching Credential in the Sciences While this is not a specific emphasis in the major, students preparing to obtain a secondary teaching credential in any of the physical sciences need to be aware of the requirements of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. These include a variety of education courses and a demonstration of competence in the subject area to be taught. This is accomplished by a passing score on the CSET exams. See the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing web site or Biola’s School of Education for more details.
