The student should be aware that most graduate programs and many professional schools require an overall minimum GPA of 3.0 and that a grade of "C" or better was earned for all science courses. Concentrations The Human Biology major offers a concentration in Pre-Health Care Professional and one in Pre-Chiropractic. Pre-Chiropractic A Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology with a concentration in Pre-Chiropractic is offered in cooperation with the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS). 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, at SCUHS. Upon successful completion of the required courses, the student receives a B.S. degree with a major in Human Biology from Biola. Upon successful completion of the entire chiropractic program student receives the D.C. degree from the Southern California University of Health Sciences' Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC). The student should be aware that 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. A course in ethics before application to LACC is strongly recommended. The upper-division biology course requirements to be taken at LACC are General Anatomy I, General Histology, General Anatomy II, Neuroscience, Systemic Histology, Systemic Physiology and Micro/Immunology. The minimum required pre-chiropractic courses taken at Biola are: General Education Requirements Human Biology majors automatically meet the general education requirement of 8 credits of science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or the first 4 credits in college. Students in the Pre-Chiropractic Human Biology program sequence are exempt from general education requirements in Literature (3 credits) and World Civilization (3 credits). The student is also exempt from the last semester Biola residency requirement. PHIL 215 is strongly recommended for all Human Biology majors. Core Requirements
