1 GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information Carrying on a tradition of educational excellence that dates back over 80 years, Biola University now encompasses four schools: The School of Arts and Sciences, Rosemead School of Psychology, Talbot School of Theology, and the School of Intercultural Studies. Offering three baccalaureate degrees in 22 majors, 10 masters and five doctoral degrees, Biola's commitment to academic excellence is firmly rooted in its adherence to an in-depth, knowledgeable and alive 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 build ing in Los Angeles - and the future university - 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 Institute and co-founder of the Union Oil Company, the words capture the vision of Biola's founders. Stewart, togeth er with TC. Horton, had initiated the Bible Institute, with the first permanent organization taking shape in 1908. By 1912, the school had grown in its outreach and constituency sufficiently to call R.A. Torrey, a lead er in the field of Christian Education, as the first dean. The next seven decades have witnessed tremendous growth in the development and outreach of the school. Under the leadership 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 nurs ing program. In 1949, 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 of a seventy-five acre site in La Mirada. Biola moved to the new site in 1959. Dr. Sutherland retired as president in 1970, but continues 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 the fall of 1981, the undergraduate programs in psychology were merged with Rosemead's graduate programs, forming the present Rosemead School of Psychology. Dr. Clyde Cook became the seventh president of Biola on June 1, 1982. Under his leadership, the School of Intercultural Studies was instituted as part of the

University, beginning in the fall of 1983. Talbot School of Theology also began in the fall of 1983 as the result of a merger between appropriate undergraduate progran1S and the graduate programs ofTalbotTheological Seminary. Because of the University's heritage and commit ment, its academic basis is broader than that of the stan dard college of arts and sciences. Terminal and preparatory programs lead to service in both church related vocations and the many other vocations and professions embraced by the present curricula. In addi tion, the University is a Christian institution of higher education without any denominational affiliation. From an institute to a university, Biola's real corner stone has remained the same: commitment to Jesus Christ, the inerrancy of Scripture and biblical Christianity, (within an evangelical Protestant frame work) as well as to the spiritual, academic and holistic growth of those who are personally committed to Him. THE MISSION OF BIOLA UNIVERSITY The mission of Biola University is to be a Christian university providing education at the baccalaureate and po:-st-baccalaureate levels in biblical studies and theolo gy, in the liberal arts and sciences, and in selected applied and professional fields. It is to be Christian in the sense that the biblical Christian world view serves as the all-encompassing framework and integrating basis for the entire content and conduct of the institu tion. It is to be a university in the full traditional mean ing of the term, with knowledge and understanding being generated and disseminated , with students and faculty continually developing to high levels their cogni tive and affective potential, and with society being served beneficially thereby. In combining the two terms, Christian and university, considerable emphasis is placed upon the scholarly integration of biblical faith with all of the fields of learning, and also upon the prac tical interrelationships and interdependencies of faith, learning and living as they are developed throughout the curriculum and the life-style. The mission of the University is to produce graduates who are (a) competent in their fields of study, (b) knowl edgeable in biblical studies, and (c) earnest Christians equipped to serve the Christian community and society at large. An expanded version of this statement is print ed elsewhere in the catalog, for the institution as a whole and also for some of the specific programs. There are two additional "products" of the University, both of which are to be viewed as outgrowths of the task of producing graduates of its baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate programs and not as separate from it. One consists of the scholarly contributions to knowledge and understanding which are generated by students and faculty in the disciplines and in integration with the biblical Christian world view. The other consists of public services as students, facul ty and staff make their professional and personal exper tise available to the Christian community and to society at large throughout the world.

Biola's environment is unique: a close-knit atmo sphere combined with exte1i sive university programs and resources. Balancing our outstanding professional preparation is a friendly, caring community with accessibility to faculty, widespread student activi ties, and opportunities to cultivate life-long friendships.

2 GENERAL INFORMATION

In brief, the mission of Biola University is to equip Christians to impact the world for Jesus Christ, primari ly through the ongoing lives of its graduates but also through the in-service work of its present students, faculty and staff. 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 revelation from God Himself, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purpos es; 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 lineal descendant 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 crucifixion showed Himself to be alive to His disciples, appearing unto them by the space of forty 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 with 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 bodi ly." 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, possessed 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 Lord Jesus is coming 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 of grace toward mankind will find their consummation. The Holy Spirit is a person, and is possessed of all the distinctively divine attributes. He is God. Man was created in the image of God, after His like ness , but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. All men, until they accept the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior, are lost, darkened in their under standing, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, morally and spiritually dead through their trespasses and sins. They cannot see, nor enter the kingdom of God until they are born again of the Holy Spirit. Men are justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him who shed the blood, and are born again by the quickening, renewing, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit, through the instru mentality of the Word of God. All those who receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and their Lord, and who confess Him as such before their fellow 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 trans formed into the likeness of the body of His glory. All those who persistently reject]esus Christ in the present life shall be raised from the dead and through out eternity exist in the state of conscious, unutterable, endless torment and anguish. The Church consists of all those who, in this present dispensation, 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 devil, 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 brim stone and shall be tormented day and night forever. Note: This doctrinal statement, presented here as orig inally conceived by the founders of the organization, has been and continues to be the stated theological position of Biota University. In addition, the following explanatory notes indicate the organization's understanding and teaching position on certain points which could be subject to various interpretations: The Scriptures are to be interpreted according to dispensational 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

3 GENERAL INFORMATION

................. Each year, our Office of Financial Aid disburses over $8,000,000 in scholarships for academic achievement, athletics, music, communi cation, international students, and financial need. Our Financial Aid staffalso assists students in applying for state and federal grants.

Biblically Speaking The following behavioral expectations apply to all members of the Biola University community: 1. Those acts which are expressly forbidden in Scripture, including: premarital/extramarital sex, homosexuality, drunkenness, theft, profanity, occult practices and dishonesty will not be practiced by members of this community. 2. Other areas the community is expected to avoid are known as "sins of the spirit" and "sins of the tongue." These include such sins as covetous ness, jealousy, pride, lust, envy, immodesty, impa tience, backbiting, enmity, strife, outbursts of anger, factions, bitterness, an unforgiving spirit, slander, discrimination and prejudice Oeremiah 9:3-9, Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19-21). Although these issues are more difficult to discern, they can be destructive to the healthy functioning of the community. 3. Recognizing the Christian obligation to submit to the governing authorities (Romans 13:1, 1 Peter 2:13), individuals related to Biola University are expected to uphold the laws of the local community, the state and the nation. Community Agreements The Board of Trustees has adopted the following statement of the community agreements which are a requirement for membership in the Biola community. Bio/a University has long recognized a value in main taining certain behavioral standards that contribute to the atmosphere on campus, foster fellowship with a wide range ofChristians and, in many instances, assist in strengthening our Christian testimony to our community. In this light, Bio/a University asks both its students and employees to be supportive of these behavioral standards. This institution is for earnest Christians who are sensitive to the many principles ofChristian living that are found in the Bible. The institution also states certain specific guidelines for the conduct of the Board of Trustees, faculty, staffand students. Although such regu lations are not the basis ofour standing in Christ, and are not a necessary consequence of it, they can be benefi cial to the life and testimony of both the individual and the institution. To this end, Bio/a expects the Board of Trustees,faculty, staffand students to refrain from the use ofalcoholic beverages and tobacco and from gambling. Also, Bio/a does not allow social dancing at university-related or sponsored activities (that is, at any activity that involves any identifiable university group, is publicized on-campus, and/or has the appearance of being university related, whether held on or offcampus). Further, the Board of Trustees,faculty, staffand students are expected to exercise discernment so as to abstain from all activities that tend to be morally degrading; this includes but is not limited to individual decisions regard ing movies and television programs viewed and other entertainment, recreational and social activities. Bio/a University does not presume to be a censoring agency for all activities; it does, however, expect tangible evidence of maturing Christian convictions and discerning judgment.

and sustainer of the entire natural realm. Concepts such as theistic or threshold evolution do not adequate ly explain creation. Though there may be many fillings of the Holy Spirit, there is only one baptism which occurs at the time of regeneration. God gives His gifts to His people in His sovereignty and not on demand. The charismat ic manifestations (e.g., tongues and healing) had ~pecial significance during the revelatory period of the New Testament apostolic era and are not at all a neces sary special work of the Holy Spirit 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 salvation and not as a qualifying condition for salvation. Biola University does not necessarily deny employ ment to persons merely for lack of firm personal convic tions on any teaching position in these explanatory notes. However, Biola University does weigh carefully the understanding and personal convictions of employ ment applicants on these points as well as the nature of their prospective work assignments, in determining their suitability for employment. TEACHING BIBLICAL STUDIES Teaching biblical studies for academic credit at Biola University is a complex situation. A major goal of all teaching is for the student to gain knowledge and understanding of the subject matter as well as familiari ty with the methodology of the field. Such a goal is of importance here. The Scriptures, however, are consid ered more than academic subject matter. They are the Word of God written for the purpose of revealing God and His actions with the desire of bringing people to harmony with Him. Our acceptance of the divine nature and intent of Scripture gives ultimate meaning and direction to all studies relating to the Scriptures. Entailed in the furtherance of the divine intent of Scripture are many facets of study ranging from the practical procedures for the propagation of the Christian faith to the highly technical dimensions of critical biblical studies and philosophical theology. Throughout this diversity of endeavors and the wide variety of gifts and skills employed, however, all partici pants are finally engaged in a common task which may be summarily stated as the understanding, acceptance and propagation of the biblical faith. BEHAVIORAL STANDARDS The University has chosen to set a standard of behavior for all students, faculty and staff. Some of these standards are specifically outlined in Scripture and others are established because the community agrees upon them.

4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Biota reserves the right to dismiss a student, who, in its judgment does not conform either to the stated regulations governing student conduct or to the expressed principles, policies, programs and expectations of the University. These standards apply to the student while enrolled in any of the schools or programs of the University on campus and offcampus. Further, these standards apply to the Board of Trustees, faculty and staffwhile part of the Biota community. In addition, members of the Biota communi!y will observe Sunday as the Lord's Day and give primary atten tion to worship, rest, Christian fellowship and recreation, and service. LIFESTYLE CONCERNS In all these standards, our desire is that students who come to Biola University will learn to exercise indi vidual discernment in the daily choices made as demonstrated in thoughts, actions and lifestyle. The Student Affairs staff and other members of the universi ty community wi ll confront a student who fails to live up to the above stated expectations. However, it is recog nized that it is possible for violations to occur without our knowledge, even with diligence in exercising our responsibilities. In reality, as in life outside Biola, it is necessary for each individual to make choices, to be self-disciplined, and to hold others accountable. On the other hand, these standards in no way indi cate that Biola, as an institution, believes dancing off campus or the participation in drinking, smoking or gambling is acceptable behavior during the summer or between semester periods. Rather, the board has decided to shift the responsibility from the institution to the individual for making decisions regarding individu al participation in dancing that do not involve any university-sponsored or related group or activity. In making this change, the board is emphasizing the essential role of individual judgment, responsibility and discernment throughout the University. Individual, parental, and church involvement is essential in the development of an individual's decisions in these areas. In the areas where individual choice is allowed, much discernment is needed . For example, in today's society, many activities are morally degrading and result in leading an individual's mind, heart and life away from Go<;l and His ways. It is, therefore, impera tive that each individual develop the ability to discern and seek that which is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and of good repute (Philippians 4:8). Because of our sinful nature, it is difficult to make these choices on a moment-by-moment basis. We are committed to share this process of growth with you. As a guideline for viewing movies, Biola University states that movies whose content is morally degrading are not acceptable for students, faculty or staff. Currently, this would include all movies rated X, almost all rated R, most rated PG-13, and many rated PG. Again, mature discernment needs to be used by each individual.

As a guideline for dancing off-campus, it is impor tant to note that three aspects of dance be taken into consideration. There are: 1) the mode - such as the form of dancing and the type of clothing worn; 2) the music - such as the message in the text of the lyrics and the message perceived in the music itself; and 3) the mindset - as it contributes toward the mind of the flesh or toward the mind of the Spirit. In all cases, discernment should be exercised in individual deci sions to dance off-campus. In the development of discernment regarding appearance, one overriding principle should be used. In all cases, modesty and good taste should guide choices made in appearance whether this be in the academic classroom setting or in the residence hall area or cafeteria. More specifically, Biola University has a standard for academic dress in the classroom and in chapel. In preparation for the requirements of many jobs, students are asked to use particular care when attending classes and chapel. Shorts, tank tops and other similar styles are not allowed in the classroom or chapel. Outside of these areas, discernment should be used in all decisions of the type of clothes worn, from length of skirt to slogans on T-shirts.

Si>Zce the early 1980s, Bio/a ltas integrated computers tltrougltout its curriculum. Several Macintosh labs are located on campus providing each student with access to terminals. Special discount programs are available to students wishing to purchase Apple computers.

THE ROLE OF MICROCOMPUTERS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OF THE UNIVERSITY ~iola University believes that the microcomputer is an increasingly valuable tool and that one of our educa tional 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 usage into the university curriculum. Thus, the University provides access to Macintosh microcomputers for every student and requires their use in freshman English. It is the intent of the University, over time, to require the use of these micro computers over a wide spectrum of the curriculum. The microcomputer of choice at Biola University is the Macintosh. The computer centers and Macintosh labs located across the campus help provide the necessary micro computer 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 fulltime students. Complete details are provided to all interest ed students. Because of the cooperative relationship between Biola University and Apple Computers, Inc., the University has access to technological innovations, seminars, technical expertise and on-line telecommuni cations with other universities across the nation. In addition, Biola University is involved as a test site for the evaluation and development of innovations from Apple Computer, Inc.

6 GENERAL INFORMATION

suburban residential community with a population of 40,000. Included within the vicinity are several major shopping areas in addition to many other business establishments. La Mirada is situated near many of the outstanding attractions of Southern California. Downtown Los Angeles can be reached in a half-hour's drive from the campus. Disneyland is twelve 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 eight een-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 driving distance of La Mirada including the University of California, 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. Approx imately three miles to the southwest is the Santa Ana Freeway (Freeway 1-5). Students coming to the campus by automobile should follow these directions: coming from the north west, leave the Santa Ana Freeway at Rosecrans and travel east to Biola Avenue; coming from the southeast, leave the Santa Ana Freeway at Valley View and travel north to Rosecrans, then turn right to Biola Avenue; coming from the east via San Bernardino Freeway (IlO), turn south on the Orange Freeway (57) to Imperial Highway and travel west on Imperial Highway to Biola Avenue. The campus now consists of 95 acres with over 1/2 million square feet of building space in 30 major build ings. Just under half of the space is dedicated to 7 student residence complexes, housing nearly 1,400 students in a fine variety of living quarters. The rest of the buildings house classrooms, laboratories, auditori ums, offices and student services. Highlights of the buildings include Soubirou Hall, containing specialized classrooms for nursing instruction, along with nursing department faculty offices; Lansing 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 gymnasium-swimming complex with a short course Olympic pool. On the eastern side of the campus lie the athletic fields. Included are a crushed brick quarter-mile track, an excellent baseball diamond, a soccer field, an archery

range and tennis courts. Additional recreation facilities are located in the 105-acre La Mirada Regional Park, just across La Mirada Boulevard from the Biola campus. In addition, Biola has recently completed a lease purchase agreement on 20 acres adjoining the main campus which formerly housed an intermediate school. This land includes 58,000 square feet of classroom and office buildings, and over 10 acres of athletic fields available for Biola's extensive intramural program and for informal recreation. During the 1989/90 school year, several additions to the campus will be completed. A three-building resi dential complex will serve a variety of needs, from urtdergraduate housing in a residence hall to graduate and married housing in apartment-style living. The Student Union Building is being expanded, and the Bookstore is being replaced by a new, larger building. The entire campus will be affected by the installation of a new energy-efficient Central Plant for heating, cool ing, and cogeneration. It will allow several of our older classroom and residential buildings to be air condi tioned for the first time, and will provide the basis for a campus wide communication and computer network. 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 200,000 books, the library currently subscribes to more than 1,200 periodical titles, with a number of bound journal backfiles dating from the nineteenth century. Special holdings reflect Biola's enthusiasm and scholarly interest in Bible histo ry and translation, the historical roots of fundamental ism and evangelical Christianity, 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 curriculum resources appropriate to teacher education. To facilitate study and the use of library resources, the Rose Memorial Library provides access to several copy machines, rental typewriters, microcomputers, microfilm readers and reader-printers. Study tables, individual carrels, and locked study rooms for graduate students can accomodate approximately 500 patrons at any one time. Library services offer trained reference help at all times, with special effort made to relate students and faculty to other important library resources of the southern California area and throughout the nation. Reciprocal borrowing privileges are encouraged, with undergraduate and graduate students using the impres sive resources at California State University at Fullerton, and graduate seminary libraries in the area. Traditional interlibrary loan services are provided,

Our 95-acre campus is nestled in the city of La

Mirada, a quiet, conserva tive residential community 20 miles southeast ofLos Angeles. Disneyland, Knoll's Berry Farm and Southern California beaches and mountains are just miles away.
