SUMMER SESSION Acontinuing Summer Session program provides students with the opportunity for a greater degree of flexibility in plan ning their total program. Students may enrich their course of study and reduce the overall time spent in school or decrease their regular course load by careful selection of Summer ~ sion courses. Visiting students find it refreshing to study in a different atmosphere and perhaps a different locale, and entering students find it helpful in gaining advanced standing. Work taken may be applied to both the degree and the teach ing credential programs. Instruction is offered in standard courses by the Biola faculty and capable visiting professors. Courses offered cover the areas of art, Bible, theology, his tory, literature, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, biological science, sociology and other subjects, including education courses for teaching credential candidates. Graduate courses in education, intercultural studies, theology and psychology enable graduate students to continue their programs during the sum mer. Credit is also available in connection with excellent foreign tours conducted during the summer. Tuition, room and board are lower than regular charges at private colleges; total costs are competitive with state summer school charges. See section on financial information for Summer Session tuition. Certain courses or workshops may be offered in the sum mer that are not listed in this bulletin. Courses may be inno vative or the content may be in response to specialized needs or current topics. Such courses will be described in the sepa rate Summer Session bulletin.
