Pre-Professional Programs Many opportunities exist for Biola students who are actively seeking professional education and training. Several agreements currently exist (Chiropractic and Engineering) that allow Biola students to participate in degree completion programs leading to specialized bachelors degrees or both bachelors degree and a first professional doctorate. Additional opportunities are available that prepare the Biola graduate to enter the professional education/training phase with confidence. A significant number of Biola graduates are currently serving in professional capacities. They routinely cite their excellent undergraduate education programs as predictors of success in their professional endeavors. Students who are interested in pursuing professional degrees after attending Biola should plan carefully and consult with potential professional schools concerning their requirements. In some cases, assistance from a major adviser should be supplemented by other advising resources available at Biola. The Office of Career Services assists students in various ways. The Biola Office of Health Professions Advising (BOHPA) also mentors students pursuing these careers, provides support for health professional school applications, graduate exam preparation, mock interviews and clinical shadowing experiences. If a student is unsure about pre-professional advising, help should be sought from the Office of Academic Advising, located in Sutherland Hall. The following provides some basic information about pre-professional education at Biola. Pre-Chiropractic Biola has a unique 3+3 cooperative degree program in conjunction with the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU). The student attends Biola for three years and then applies to SCU and enters their program. After taking the required courses in the first 1½ years at SCU, Biola grants a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology. Upon the completion of the entire 3-year program at SCU, the student receives a Doctor of Chiropractic from the Southern California University of Health Sciences' Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC).
