25 SPECIAL PROGRAMS
LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM The Latin American Studies Program is sponsored by the Christian College Coalition of which Biola University is a member. This program provides students the opportunity to live, study and work for four months in Central America, most of which is spent in Costa Rica. Students spend the initial six-weeks in intense language study. This is followed with two three-week seminars on the problems of Central America and social and economic development issues. The final month is spent in travel through Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, safety permitting. For additional information and application see Dr. David Dickson, or make inquiry through the Department of Foreign Languages. OTHER STUDY TOURS There are other opportunities for travel each summer and occasionally at other times during the year. Tours are directed by those with experience in travel and are offered at a nominal price. Although these tours are not limited to Biola University students, it is expected that those joining a tour will be in basic agreement with the Christian viewpoint and the standards of conduct held by Biola University. In addition, it is expected that the indi vidual's health will be strong enough to stand the demanding rigors of travel. For information write to the Offjce of Admissions and Records. SUMMER SESSION A growing and continuing Summer Session program provides students with the opportunity for a greater degree of flexibility in planning their total program. Students may enrich their course of study and reduce the overall time spent in school or decrease their regu lar course load by careful selection of Summer Session 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 teaching credential programs. Instruction is offered in standard courses by the Biola faculty and capable visiting professors. Courses offered cover the areas of art, Bible, theolo gy, Greek, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, biological science, sociology and other subjects, including education courses for teaching credential candidates. Graduate courses in theology and psychology enable graduate students to continue their programs during the summer. Credit is also avail able in connection with excellent foreign tours conduct ed 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 summer that are not listed in this bulletin. Courses may be innovative or the content may be in response to specialized needs or current topics.
