Chair: James Rynd, Ph.D. FACULTY
Biola University, in cooperation with the University of Southern California, offers a five-year, dual-<legree program in liberal arts/ sciences and engineering. Studems auend Biola University for three years taking courses in physics, chemistry, biblical studies and the liberal arts. The final two years are taken in the University of Southern California School of Engineering. Upon successful com- pletion of the five year program, a stu- dent receives a B.S. degree with a major in Physical Science from Biola University and a B.S. degree in Engineering from the Unive rsity of Southern California. Students interested in this program must plan their course of study under the supervision and with the approval of the deparunents. Astudent who chooses to attend an accredited engineering school other than University of Southern California may also be awarded a degree from Biola University. The student must have al least a 2.75 grade point average in all subjects taken at Biola University and meet all Biola University gradua- tion requirements with the exception of the last semester residency. Specific required courses depend upon the engineering field and must be chosen in consultation with the engineering ad\1ser. Nole: Physical Science majors au/o- ma/i cally meet the general education requirement of eight units of science and mathemati cs . The foreign language requirement is me/ fry two years in high school or four units in college. MINORS A Physical Science Minor is offered \11th the completion of Chemistry I05, I06; Physics 211, 222 and six units of upper di\1sion Physical Science electives. A Physics Minor is offered with the completion of 20 units consisting of Physics 211,222,331,341 and 6 upper di\1sion units in Physics. COURSES Physical Science/Physics 101 Physical Science and Geography Survey - Lecture (4) Experimental facts and phys ical the- ory applicable in geology, meteorol- ogy; including the basic physical ele- ments of geography such as climate , land forms , soils and natural vegeta- tion and their patterns of world distri- bution. Either semester.
Professors: Rynd Instructor: Payne OBJECTIVES
The physical science major is an interdisciplinary major designed to pro- \1de the student with a solid foundation in chemistry, physics and mathematics. The program offers four emphases. A5 well as prm1ding the necessary prereq- uisites for professional programs such as engineering, medicine and educa- tion, the major allows one to quali fy for many graduate programs related to the physical sciences. The knowledge and ski lls provided in the program make the graduate much sought after by technically orientated business, indus- try and government agencies. Upon completion of the physical science major, the student will be able to express an understanding of the basic laws and theories of physics and chem- isuy, demonstrate an ability LO do quan- titative problem solving, demonstrate good laboratory technique, acquire sev- era l technical skills , apply scientifi c methodol ogy to a research problem and integrate scientific knowledge and theories with the Christian fa ith . DEGREE PROGRAM A Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Science is offered upon completion of the university baccalau- reate requ irements and the physical science departmental requirements in one of the following emphases. Chemistry (58 units) Chemistry I05 , I06, 30 I, 302, 350; Computer Science IOI ; Physics 211, 222 , 460; Math I05, !06, and 14 units of upper division courses in chemistry, physics or math. Physical Science Secondary Teaching Credential (64 units) Chemistry 105, 106,301; Computer Science 100 or IOI; Physics 211 , 222, 341, 460; Math I05 , I06; Education 300, 330, 425 and 435; and 15 upper division units of physical science or math electives especially those needed to complete the waiver program. Physics (58 units) Ph ys ics 211 , 222 , 33 1,34 1, 460; Chemistry I05, I06; Math I05, I06, 205; Computer Science IOI ; and 19 units of upper division courses in physics and math.
