BIOLA UNIVERSITY

I college catalog is great place to learn about a school. It can describe what degrees the college offers, it can tell you what courses are available, it can show you its faculty's creden tials. The photos give you a glimpse of the campus: some At Biola we're pleased with all we can offer you. This catalog lists everyclass we offer. It describes each of our chal lenging academic programs. It details our flexible financial aid packages and introduces you to the many conferences, activities and travel opportunities that Biola has designed to help build your mind and character. But remember that thumbing through this catalog is not smiling young faces, some picturesque buildings. like strolling through Biola's campus-you won't see the groups of students talking and praying together, you won't see the classes sitting in a circle on the lawn on sunnydays. This catalog can 't let you hear the bell tower 's chimes, the din of conversation in the cafeteria, the melodies wafting from the music practice rooms. It can't show you the faces of the life-long friends you'll make here. So, as you read this catalog and learn about Biola 's many academic distinctives, bear in mind that it doesn't tell you every thing. And remember that what it can't tell you, you can only discover by being here.

GENERAL INFORMATION

••••••••••• General Information

Talbot Theological Seminary became Talbot School of The ology in the fa ll of 1983 as a result of the merger between the appropriate undergraduate and graduate level programs. The Board approved the establishment of the School of Business in 1993, and the School ofContinuing Studies in 1994. Because of the University's heritage and commitment, its academic basis is broader than that of the standard college of arts and sciences. Terminal and preparatory programs lead to service in church-related vocations and the many other vocations and professions embraced by the present curricula. In addition, the University is a Christian institution of higher education without any denominational affiliation. From an institute lo a university, Biola's cornerstone has remained the same: commitment to Jesus Christ, the inerrancy of Scripture and biblical Christianity (with in an evangelical Protestant framework) , as well as to tl1e spiritual, academic and holistic growth of those who are personally committed to Him. THE ROLE AND MISSIOH OF BIOLA UNIVERSITY The mission of Biola University is lo provide a university education based on a Christian world view. This education is designed for Christian students to equip them for service in our world as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our quest is to graduate servants - some as scholars, some as leaders, and all as capable, competent professionals in their respective fields. Biola emphasizes inspirational teaching in our undergradu ate and graduate programs by faculty who exhibit joy in learn ing in their respective disciplines and excellence in communica tion. We seek lo produce graduates who have captured their excitement and dedication , and leave Biola equipped to advance Christian scholarship and practice in their respective fie lds. Biola aspires to set all of its educational programs within the context of a Christian world view. To accomplish this, all Biola students, undergraduate and graduate, take at least twenty percenl of their coursework in biblical studies and theological integration of biblical studies with their academic disciplines. Discerning Christian scholarship of the highest quality by our facu lty and students is fundamental to our mission. Our undergraduate and graduate faculty grapple with the major intellectual, ethical , and moral issues of our time from the perspective of a Christian world view. Biola University has the opportunity, indeed the obligation, to nourish a Christ ian environment which prizes research, dialogue, and critical thought whi le retaining a central commitment to the faith . The university upholds a commitment to Christian diver sity and community through which members may model and practice a way of life for this era that emulates Christ. Biola is a global institution with committed Christian students coming from diverse age, denominational, ethnic, and inter national backgrounds, reflecti ng the rich variation found in the church around the world. Respect for persons, love for one another in the community, spiritual discipline , moral discernment, and commitment lo service are the values which we derive from our quest to graduate competent men and women who are "followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. " Servant leadership is our contribution lo the church and wider society in such diverse fields as the arts, communica tion, business, nursing, psychology, and education. Our fac-

Carrying on a tradition of educational excellence that dates back over 80 years, Biola University now encompasses: the School of Arts and Sciences, Talbot School of Theology, Rosemead School of Psychology, the School of Intercultural Studies, the School ofBusiness, and the School of Continuing Studies. Offering three baccalaureate degrees in 24 majors, IO masters and five doctoral degrees, Biola's commitment to academic excellence is firmly rooted in its adherence to an in depth, knowledgeable and living Christianity. Each year, over 3,000 students find Biola's unique blend of faith and learning conducive to their academic and vocational goals. HISTORICAL SKETCH The cornerstone of the original Bible Institute building in Los Angeles was laid on May 31 , 1913, and dedicated with these words: "For the teaching of the truths for which the Institute stands, its doors are to be open every day of the year, and all people, without reference to race , color or class will ever be welcome to its privileges. " Spoken by Lyman Stewart, president of the Insti lute and co-founder of the Union Oil Company, these words capture the vision ofBiola's founders. Stewart, together with T.C. Hor ton , initiated the Bible Institute, with the first permanent orga nization taking shape in 1908. By 1912, the school had grown sufficiently in its outreach and constituency lo call R.A. Torrey, a leader in the field of Christian education, as the first dean. The next eight decades have witnessed tremendous growth in the development and outreach of the school. Under the lead ership of Dr. Louis T. Talbot, president from 1932 to 1952, the Bible Institute program became a four-year course, leading to degrees in theology, Christian education, and sacred music. The School of Missionary Medicine came into being in 1945, laying the foundation for Biola's current baccalaureate nursing pro gram. In I949, the Bible Institute was renamed Biola College. Dr. Samuel H. Sutherland became president in 1952, and •with his leadership the college obtained regional and professional accreditation. Additionally, many new programs of study were introduced, including Talbot Theological Seminary. The demands imposed by the growing student body and the enlarged curriculum prompted the purchase ofa 7!'>-acre site in La Mirada. Biola moved to the new site in 1959. Dr. Sutherland retired as president in I970, but continued to lend leadership as a member of Biola's Board of Trustees. That same year, Dr. J. Richard Chase became Biola's sixth president In 1977, the graduate programs of Rosemead Graduate School of Professional Psychology were acquired by Biola and relocated on the La Mirada campus. The undergradu ate programs in psychology were merged with Rosemead 's graduate programs in the fall of I981, forming the present Rosemead School of Psychology. Under the leadership ofDr. J. Richard Chase, Biola Col lege became Biola University on July l, 1981. The University was composed of the School of Arts and Sciences, Talbot Theological Seminary, and Rosemead School of Psychology. Dr. Clyde Cook became the seventh president ofBiola on June I, 1982. Under his leadership, the School of Intercul tural Studies was instituted as part of the University in I983.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ulty and staff model lives of service in their professional prac tice, and through rigorous research, instruction, and practi cal internships.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT Inasmuch as the University is interdenominational and yet theologically conservative, the Articles of Incorporation contain a doctrinal statement which is given below: The Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given reve lation from God Himself, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and concerning man, his nature, need and duty and destiny. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind. There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin - Mary, a lin eal descendan t of David. He lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as is recorded in the four Gospels. He was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate. God raised from the dead the body that had been nailed to the cross. The Lord Jesus after His crucifix ion showed Himself to be alive to His disciples, appearing unto them by the space of 40 days. After this, the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven, and the Father caused Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the Church. The Lord Jesus, before His incarnation, existed in the form of God and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. In His pre-existent state, He was wi th God and was God. He is a divine person possessed of all the attributes of Deity, and should be worshiped as God by angels and man. "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." All the words that He spoke during His earthly life were the words of God. There is absolutely no error of any kind in them, and by the words of Jesus Christ the words of all other teachers must be tested. The Lord Jesus became in every respect a real man, pos sessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature.

By His death on the cross, the Lord Jesus made a perfect atonement for sin, by which the wrath of God against sinners is appeased and a ground furnished upon which God can deal in mercy with sinners. He redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. He who Himself was absolutely without sin was made to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. The LordJesus is com ing again to his earth, personally, bodily, and visibly. The return of our Lord is the blessed hope of the believer, and in it God's purposes ofgrace toward mankind will find their consummation. The Holy Spirit is a person, and is possessed of all the dis tinctively divine attributes. He is God. Man was created in the image of God, after His likeness, but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. Al l men, until they accept the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior, are lost, darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, lnorally and spiritually dead through their trespasses and sins . They cannot see, nor enter the Kingdom of God until they are born again of the HolySpirit. Men are justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condi tion of faith in Him who shed the blood, and are born again by the quickening, renewing, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit, through the instrumentality of the Word of God. Al l those who receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and their Lord, and who confess Him as such before their fe llow men, become children of God and receive eternal life. They become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. At death their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness, and at the Second Coming of Christ their bodies shall be raised and transformed into the likeness of the body of His glory. Al l those who persistently reject Jesus Christ in the present life shall be raised from the dead and throughout eternity exist in the state of conscious, unutterable, endless torment and anguish. The Church consists of all those who, in this present dispen sation, truly believe in Jesus Christ. It is the body and bride of Christ, which Christ loves and for which He has given Himself. There is a personal devi l, a being of great cunning and power: "The prince of the power of the air, " "The prince of this world, " "The god of this age." He can exert vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so. He shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone and shall be tor mented day and night forever. Note: This doctrinal statement, presented here as originally con ceived l,y the founders of the organization, has been and continues to be the stated theol-Ogical position of Bio/a University. In addition, thefollowing explanatory notes indicate the organization 's under standing and leaching position on certain points which could be subject to various interpretations: The Scriptures are to be interpreted according to dispensa tional distinctives with the conviction that the return of the Lord for His Church will be premillennial, before the Tribulation, and that the Millennium is to be the last of the dispensations. The existence of the Creation is not explainable apart from the roles of God as the sovereign creator and sustainer of the entire natural realm. Concepts such as theistic or threshold evolution do not adequately explain creation.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Though there may be many fillings of the Holy Spirit, there is only one baptism which occurs at the time of regen eration. Cod gives His gifts to His people in His sovereignty and not on demand. The charismatic manifestations (e.g., tongues and healing) had special sign ificance during the rev elatory period of the New Testament apostolic era and are not at all a necessary special work of the HolySpirit today. The Bible is clear in its teaching on the sanctity of human life. Life begins at conception. We abhor the destruction of innocent life through abortion-on-demand. Confession before men is viewed as tangible fruit of salva tion and not as a qualifying condition for salvation. Biola University does not necessarily deny employment to persons merely for lack of firm personal convictions on any teaching position in these explanatory notes. However, Biola Un iversity does weigh carefully the understanding and per sonal convictions of employment applicants on these points as we ll as the nature of their prospective work assignments, in determining their suitabi li ty for employment. TEACHING BIBLICAL STUDIES Academic study of the sacred Scripture differs from other disciplines in a university setting in that the primary text is God's Word, which underscores the importance of making instruction relevant to faith, learning and living. At Biola every effort is made to be academically credible, theologically orthodox and practically relevant. Whether engaged in a critical discussion of the text, or a theological debate about a particular doctrine, the discussion must finally come to the meaning for life today. Though faculty members in this department share a commit ment to the convictions reflected in the University doctrinal state ment, they reflect a healthy diversity regarding other contempo rary issues and interpretation of specific passages. Whether a divergent view is held byothers on campus or not, care is taken to represent opposing positions fairly, so that students can decide for themselves in a genuine educational environment. In practice, the task of teaching biblical studies is not lim ited to those within that department. Rather, the integration of Christian thought into all fields of inquiry is the goal of the entire teaching faculty. In this sense it is desired that every course contribute to the development of a Christian worldviewfor the Biola graduate. THE COMMUNITY OF LA MIRADA The city of La Mirada is in Los Angeles County, 22 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, and is surrounded by such cities as Whittier, Norwalk, Buena Park, La Habra and Fullerton. La Mirada is a suburban residential communi ty with a population of 40,000. Included within the vicinity are several major shopping areas in addi tion to manyother business establishments. La Mirada is situated near many of the outstanding attrac tions of Southern California. Downtown Los Angeles is a half hour's drive from the campus. Disneyland is 12 miles to the southeast and famed Knott 's Berry Farm is six miles away. Within an hour 's drive are such popular beach cities as Long Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach. Recreational facilities are easily accessible. An 18-hole golf course lies a mile east of the campus and other parks in

the area offer opportunity for activities and relaxation. An hour's drive will take one into the nearby mountains where winter sports are available. Cultural and research opportunities abound in the area. Several major universities and libraries are within easy dri- 1~ng distance of La Mirada including the University of Cali fornia, Los Angeles.; the University of Southern California; the University of California, Irvine; and several other state and private institutions. THE BIOLA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS The campus is bounded on the west by Biola Avenue and on the east by La Mirada Boulevard. It is located between the large east-west thoroughfares of Rosecrans Avenue and Imperial Highway. Approximately three mi les to the south west is the Santa Ana Freeway (Freeway 1-5). Students coming to the campus by automobile should follow these directions: coming from the northwest, leave the Santa Ana Freeway at Rosecrans and travel east to Biola Avenue; coming from the southeast, leave the Santa Ana Freeway at Va lley View and travel north to Rosecrans, then turn right to Biola Avenue; coming from the east via San Bernardino Freeway (I 0) turn south on the Orange Freeway (57) to Imperial Highway and travel west on Imperial High way lo Biola Avenue. The campus consists of 95 acres with 700,000 square feet of building space in 30 major buildings. Just under half of the space is dedicated to seven student residence complexes, housing nearly 1,500 students in a fine variety of living quarters. The rest of the buildings house classrooms, laboratories, auditoriums, offices and students services. Highlights of the buildings include Soubirou Hall , containing speciali zed classrooms for nursing instruction, along with nursing department faculty offices; Lan& ing Auditorium, a 450-seat concert hall with a fine pipe organ and excellent acoustics; the Rose of Sharon Chapel, a small chapel exclusively reserved for silent prayer and meditation; and a gym nasium-swimming complex with a short-<:ourse Olympic pool. On the eastern side of the campus lie the athletic fi elds. Included are a crushed-brick, quarter-mi le track; an excel lent baseball diamond; a soccer field ; and lighted tennis courts. Additional recreation facilities are located in the 105- acre La Mirada Regional Park, just across La Mirada Boule vard from the Biola campus. The Southwest corner of the campus consists of a 20-acre, former intermediate school recently purchased by Biola. This has added 58,000 square feet of classroom and office space, as well as over 10 acres of athletic fields ava il able for Biola 's ex tensive intramural programand for informal recreation. During the 1989/ 90 school year, several additions to the cam pus were completed. Athree-building residential complex serves as undergraduate housing in a residence hall and graduate and married housing in apartment-style living. The Student Union Building has been expanded, and the Bookstore has been replaced by a new, larger building. Anew energy-efficient Cen tral Plant for heating, cooling, and cogeneration is now complete. The plant provides a cost efficient means of air conditioning our older classrooms and residential buildings.

GENERAL INFORMATION

THE ROLE OF MICROCOMPUTERS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OF THE UNIVERSITY Biola Un iversity believes that the microcomputer is an increasingly valuable tool and that one of our educational goals should be to prepare students for a world in which the computer will continue to play a significant role. Accordingly, it is our desire to integrate computer use into the university curriculum. Thus, the University provides access to Macintosh microcom puters for every student and requires their use in freshman Eng lish. It is the intent of the University, over time, to require the use of these microcomputers over awide specuum of the cuniculum. The microcomputer ofchoice at Biola is the Macintosh. The computer centers and Macintosh labs located across the campus help provide the necessary microcomputer access for students. Additionally many students have chosen to acquire their own Macintosh. This microcomputer, along with a variety of software and hardware accessories, is available for purchase at the Biola Bookstore at very attractive prices for enrolled students. Complete details are provided to all interested students. Because of the cooperative relationship between Biola Uni versity and Apple Computers, Inc. , the University has access to technological innovations, seminars, technical expertise and on line telecommunications with other universities across the nation. In addition, Biola University is involved as a test site for the evalua tion and development of innovations from Apple Computer, Inc. COMPUTER CENTER Located within the bookstore, the Computer Center is designed to meet the computer requirements of the campus for hardware, software and related accessories and are avail able to Biola faculty, staff and registered Biola students at dis counts. Featuring Apple's Macintosh, the Computer Center provides the computing tools that the students will find use ful in their course of study at Biola. Several courses, includ ing Freshmen English, require that students have access to the Macintosh for completion of course requirements. The Computer Center is intended to serve the Biola cam pus community for computers, related software and acces sories. These are sold exclusively to enrolled students, fac ulty and staff and are strictly for the purpose of enhancing the educational process. All areas of the Biola Bookstore will have special hours during summer and vacation times; reduced hours during Interterm. The Computer Center has different hours than the Bookstore.

THE LIBRARY The Rose Memorial Library serves Biola University as the central library facility on campus, supporting the needs of all the undergraduate and graduate programs with extensive resources and a wide variety of services. In addition to more than 219,000 books, the library cur rently subscribes to more than 1,060 periodical titles, with a number of bound journal back files dating from the nine teenth century. Special holdings reflect Biola 's enthusiasm and scholarly interest in Bible history and translation, the historical roots of fundamentalism and evangelical Christian ity, and the worldwide witness of Christian missions. Auxiliary collections embrace extensive microform resources; many reference resources in Braille; comprehensive pamphlet files including maps, charts, mission resources, and a wide variety of topics in the liberal arts; and special holdings of text and cuniculum resources appropriate to teacher education. To facilitate study and the use of library resources, the Rose Memorial Library provides access to its holdings by SCROLL, the on-line public access catalog and circulation system, and an increasing number of CD-ROM index databases available for patron searching. These initial steps in library automation reflect the University's commitment to providing quality service and expanding resources through the electronic exchange of ideas. In addition, copy machines, rental typewriters, microform readers and reader-printers faci litate resource use. Study tables and ind~ victual carrels can accommodate approximately 400 patrons.

MEAL PLAN

Biota University seeks to provide a quality education for all its students at the most reasonable cost possible. As a pri vate, non-profit institution, Biota University receives no sup port from taxes or other public funds. Tuition paid by the students does not cover the costs of providing a quality edu cation. Consequently, every student who attends Biota Uni versity receives a substantial subsidy made possible by the gifts of alumni, individual friends, interested churches and, in a few cases, businesses and corporations. The expenses of students at Biola University are shown in the following schedules. The University reserves the right to change all student charges, modify its services, or change its programs of study should economic conditions, curriculum revisions or national emergency make it necessary to do so. APPLICATION FEE An application fee of $35 must accompany each applica tion. This fee is non-refundable.
