1 GENERAL INFORMATION
General Information Carrying on a tradition of educational excellence that dates back over 80 years, Biola University now encompasses: The School of Arts and Sciences, Rosemead School of Psychology, Talbot School of Theology, the School of Intercultural Studies and special programs through the division of Continuing Studies. Offering three baccalaureate degrees in 23 majors, 11 masters and five doctoral degrees, Biola's commitment to academic excellence is firm ly 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 con ducive to their academic and vocational goals. HISTORICAL SKETCH The cornerstone of the original Bible Institute building 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, together with T.C. Horton, had initiated the Bible Institute, with the first permanent organiza tion taking shape in 1908. By 1912, the school had grown in its outreach and constituency sufficiently to call R.A. Torrey, a leader in the field of Christian Education, as the first dean. The next seven decades have witnessed tremen dous 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 pro gram 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 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 1977, the graduate programs of Rosemead Graduate School of Professional Psychology were acquired by Biol a and relocated on the La Mirada
campus. The undergraduate programs in psycholo gy were merged with Rosemead 's graduate pro grams in the fall of 1981, 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 lntercultural 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 programs and the graduate programs of Talbot Theological Seminary. Because of the University's heritage and commit ment, its academic basis is broader than that of the standard 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 addition, the University is a Christian institution of higher education without any denominational affiliation. From an institute to a university, Biola's real cor nerstone 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 holis tic growth of those who are personally committed to Him. THE MISSION OF BIOLA UNIVERSITY The mission ofBiola University is to be a Christian university providing education at the bac calaureate and post-baccalaureate levels in biblical studies and theology, 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 frame work and integrating basis for the entire content and conduct of the institution. It is to be a university in the full traditional meaning of the term, with knowl edge and understanding being generated and dis seminated, with students and faculty continual ly developing to high levels their cognitive and effective 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 practical interre lationships and interdependencies of faith, learning and living as they are developed throughout the cur riculum and the life-style. The mission of the University is to produce grad uates who are (a) competent in their fields of study, (b) knowledgeable in biblical studies, and (c) earnest Christians equipped to serve the Christian communi ty and society at large. An expanded version of this statement is printed elsewhere in the catalog, for the institution as a whole and also for some of the specific programs.
Biola's environment is unique: a close-knit atmosphere combined with extensive university programs and resources. Balancing our out standing professional preparation is a friendly, caring community with accessibility to faculty, widespread student activities, and oppor tunities to cultivate life long friendships.

ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS Biola University holds institutional accreditation by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In addition, the institution and certain of its programs are accredited by the American Psychological Association, the Association of Theological Schools, the National Association of Schools of Music, the State of California Board of Registered Nursing, the National League for Nursing, the California Commission for Teacher Preparation and Licensing. Biola University is authorized to train students under the Veteran's Bill of Rights.

There are two additional "products" of the University, both of which are to be viewed as out growths of the task of producing graduates of its bac calaureate 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 facu lty in the disciplines and in integration with the biblical Christian world view. The other consists of public services as students, faculty and staff make the ir pro fessional and personal expertise available to the Christian community and to society at large through out the world. In brief, the mission of Biola University is to equip Christians to impact the world for Jesus Christ, primarily 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 interdenomina tional 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 super naturally given revelation from God Himself, con cerning 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 mani festing Himself to us in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus was supernatural ly 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 crucifix ion showed Himself to be ali ve 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 authori ty 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 bodily." All the words that He spoke during His earth ly life were the words of God. There is absolutely no error of any kind in them, and by the words ofJesus 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 fur nished upon which God can deal in mercy with sin ners. 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 wi ll 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 likeness, 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 understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, morally and spiritually dead through their tres passes and sins. They cannot see, nor enter the king dom 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 simpl e 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 chi ldren 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. All 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 pre sent 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,"
4 GENERAL INFORMATION
Though faculty members in chis department share a commitment to the convictions reflected in the university doctrinal statement, they reflect a healthy diversity regarding other contemporary issues and interpretation of specific passages Whether a divergent view is held by others on cam pus or not, care is taken to represent opposing posi tions fairly, so that students can decide for them selves in a genuine educational environment. In practice, the task of teaching biblical studies is not limited 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 chat every course contribute co the development of a Christian worldview for 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 community with a population of 40,000. Included within the vicinity are several major shopping areas in addition co many other busi ness establishments. La Mirada is situated near many of the outstand ing attractions of Southern California. Downtown Los Angeles can be reached in 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 activi ties and relaxation. An hour's drive will cake 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. Approximately three miles to the southwest is the Santa Ana Freeway (Freeway I-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
"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 tormented day and night forever. Note: This doctrinal statement, presented here as originally conceived by the founders ofthe organiza tion, has been and continues to be the stated theo logical position of Biola University. In addition, the following explanatory notes indicate the organiza tion'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 chat the return of the Lord for His Church will be premil lennial, before the Tribulation, and chat 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 ade quately 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 peo ple in His sovereignty and not on demand . The charismatic manifestations (e.g., tongues and heal ing) had special significance during the revelatory period of the New Testament apostolic era and are not at all a necessary 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 employment to persons merely for lack of firm per sonal convictions on any teaching position in these explanatory notes. However, Biola University does weigh carefully the understanding and personal con victions of employment applicants on these points as well as the nature of their prospective work assignments, in determining their suitability 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.
Our 95-acre campus is nestled in the city of La Mirada, a quiet, conservative residential community 20 miles southeast ofLos Angeles. Disneyland, Knott 's Berry Farm and Southern California beaches and mountains are just miles away.
