Secondary Education Minor Minor Requirements Students must complete 18 credits to receive a Secondary Education minor. The Secondary Education minor meets the majority of requirements for the California Preliminary Single Subject Teaching Credential. See the Professional Teacher Preparation section of the catalog under the Liberal Studies, Elementary Education, B.A. (p. 94) program.

The mission of the Science and Theology minor is to provide students with a greater depth in the philosophy and history of science than is available in a standard science curriculum. This affords the student a rich background and context to best integrate science and theology. Minor Requirements A Science and Theology minor is available to students who are Chemistry, Physics, Engineering or Biology department majors, who take the following courses:

Social Justice, Human Rights and Conflict Transformation Minor Mission The mission of the Social Justice, Human Rights and Conflict Transformation minor at Biola is to equip students with the unique tools for advocacy that they will need to effectively engage in integral mission marked by both the proclamation and demonstration of the Gospel to the "lost," the "least" and the "last." The minor encourages participants to carefully consider how our proclamation has social consequences and our social involvement has evangelistic consequences. Minor Requirements A Social Justice, Human Rights and Conflict Transformation minor is offered with the completion of 18 credits of approved courses, 12 of which must be upper-division (excluding BBST 465); with an average grade of "C" or better.
