Biola University 2013–14 Catalog
General Education Course Substitutions While the general education requirement will normally be met from the courses specified in the catalog, in exceptional cases where students have the appropriate prerequisites and where the department in which the course is taught determines that the intentions of the general education requirement would be satisfied, students may request permission to substitute an upper- division class for the lower-division course specified in the catalog. Students are to secure written approval for such a substitution prior to taking the class. Electives Normally a student has considerable freedom in the choice of electives in addition to the biblical studies and theology, general education and major requirements. However, in addition to the note given at the end of the biblical studies and theology requirements, the non-music major is limited to a maximum of 8 credits in applied music (including ensembles) and the non- physical education major is limited to 8 credits in physical education or skill courses.
