Torrey Houses The curriculum included in the Morgan and Johnson House models meet the general education requirements as reflected below. However, the content is encapsulated in either 4-credit (Morgan) or 8-credit (Johnson) models. Torrey Off-Campus Programs Torrey Off-Campus Programs offer opportunities to live and study away from the Biola campus for credit. Students read books, attend lectures, participate in discussion groups, and visit cultural points of interest in the area they are visiting. Past Torrey Off-Campus Programs have included trips to Rome, Europe, and Cambridge. The credits from these programs may be applied to Morgan House YMDT 310, YMDT 325, YMDT 410 and/ or YMDT 465; or Johnson House YMDT 304, YMDT 401 and/or YMDT 402. With approval, YMDT 492 may be substituted in place of YMDT 480. Torrey Off-Campus Torrey Off-Campus consists of an intensive tutorial experience that takes place during Interterm or Summer sessions. Students read books, attend lectures, participate in discussion groups, and visit cultural points of interest. Torrey Off-Campus provides the opportunity for spiritual bonding and intellectual growth in a more intensive and intimate environment than is possible during the school year. Students are supervised and led by a tutor in the Torrey Honors Institute and are able to interact with other stimulating leaders.
