The ph ys ica l science major is an interdisciplinarymajor designed to pro vide the student with a solid foundation in chemisu·y, physics and mathematics. The program offers four emphases. As well as providing the necessary prereq uisites for professional programs such as engi neering, medicine and educa tion , tl1e major all ows one to qualify for manygraduate programs related to the physical sciences. The knowledge and ski lls provided in the program make the graduate mu ch sought after by techni ca lly-oriented busin ess, indusuy and government agencies. Upon completion of the phys ical science major, the student ,vi ii be able to express an understanding of the basic laws and tl1eori es of physics and chem isuy, demonsu,ne an ability to do quan titative probl em solving, demonstrate good laborato1y techn ique, acquire sev eral technical skill s, ap pl y sc ientifi c meth odology to a research probl em and integrate scientific knowledge and theori es with tJ1e Christian faith. DEGREE PROGRAM A Bachelor of Science deg,ie in Physi cal Science is offered upon completion of th e uni versity baccala ur ea te requirements and the phys ical science departmental requirements in one or Chcmisuy I 05, I 06, 30 I, 302, 350; Computer Science 105; Ph ys ics 132, 233, 460; Math I 05 , I 06; the remain ing 14 units are taken in chem istry, phys ics and math , of which nine units must be upper division. Secondary Teaching Credential in Science Chemistry Concentration (69 units) Chemisuy I 05, I 06, 30 I, 302, 350, 4 II; Physics 132, 233; Matl1 105; Physical Science IO l , I 03 or 250, 460; Biology I00, 11 0; five upper di,~sion science electives, and tl1e requisite Education courses.

Physics Concentration (74 units) Chemisay I 05, I 06; Physics 132, 233, 234,313, 32 1; Physical Science IO I, 103 or 250, 460; Biology I 00, 11 0; Math I 05, 106; 12 upper division science electives, and tl1e requisite Education courses. the fo llowing emphases. Chemistry (58 units)
with tl1e University or Southern Califor ni a, offers a five-year, dual-degree pro gram in liberal arts/ sciences and engi nee rin g. Students attend Biola for th ree years taking courses in phys ics, lZ!.
chemisuy, biblical st11dies and the lib- eral arts. The final two years are taken in tl1e University or Southern California School of Enginee1ing. Upon success- ful compl etion of the five-year pro- gram, a student receives a B.S. degree with a major in Physical Science from Biola and a B.S. degree in Engineering from the USC. A similar agreement exists with Boston Un iversity. Students interested in these programs must plan tl1eir course of study under the supervi- sion of the engineeri ng advisor and 11~th the approval of the departments. Astudent who chooses to attend an accred ited engi neeri ng school other than University or Southern California mayalso be awarded a degree from Biola Universi ty. The student should be aware that engineering schools often have a minimum CPA requirement. The pro gram at USC cuJTently requires an over all CPAof 3.0 for mmsfening students. The minimum required pre-enginee1ing courses taken at Biola for most engineer ing programs are: Math 105, 106, 205, 435; Chemi suy I 05; Phys ics 132, 233, 234, 321 and one upper division elective. Other required courses depend on tl1e specific enginee1ing program. Note: Students in the enginee1ing 3/2 J1rog,mn sequence are exem/11 from general education requirements in literature (3) and hist01y ( 4) Wf.st a:nd the World. The student is also exempt from the last semes ter residenl)' requirement. Note: Physical Science maj01, automat ically meet the general education require ment of eight units of srience a.nil 111athe malirs. 711eforeign language requirement is met &y two yem, in high school or first f 01a uni Is in college. MINORS A Physical Science Minor is offered ,vith the completion of Chemisuy I 05, l 06; Ph ysics 132, 233 and six units of upper di,~sion Physical Science electives. A Physics Minor is offered with the compl etion of l units consisting of Phys ics 132, 233, 234 and six upper division un its in Physics.
