and spiritual growth, preparing students to pursue careers and advanced degrees in health related fields. Degree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. The major offers two different concentrations. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of the practice of science and scientific methodology (ULO 1). 2. Demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of the bio-molecular basis for life, emphasizing its application to human structures and functions (ULO 3). 3. Describe and classify the human form, structure, and function (ULO 1). 4. Demonstrate an ability to integrate faith and learning as it relates to Human Biology (ULO 2). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 6) section of this catalog. Requirements Admission Recommendations Recommended high school courses are: one year of biology, one year of chemistry, three years of mathematics, and two years of foreign language. One year of physics is desirable. The student should be aware that Advanced Placement (AP) science courses may not be used to fulfill science requirements for this degree. Graduate/Professional School Requirements 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 and they will not accept Advanced Placement science credit to fulfill the entrance requirements. Curriculum Requirements 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 at Biola and SCUHS, the student receives a B.S.
degree with a major in Human Biology from Biola. Upon successful completion of the entire chiropractic program the 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:
Program-Specific Core Curriculum (GE) Courses Human Biology majors automatically meet the Core Curriculum 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 Core Curriculum 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. Program Courses Students in the Pre-Chiropractic program must take at least 8 credits of upper-division science at Biola to meet the graduation requirements. These credits must include CHEM 301/CHEM 311 Organic Chemistry I and Lab. The remaining 4 credits can be either CHEM 302/CHEM 312 Organic Chemistry II and Lab or upper-division BIOS courses. If Organic Chemistry is transferred into Biola, the student must take 8 credits of upper-division BIOS courses to meet the graduation requirements.
