Engineering: Biola University in cooperation with the University of Southern California offers a five year program in engineering. Students attend Biola University for three years taking courses in physics, chemistry, Biblical studies and the liberal arts. The final two years are taken in the School of Engineering at the University of Southern Califor nia. Upon completion of Biola University require ments for graduation, which would normally oc cur at the end of the fourth year, a student will receive a B.S. degree in Physical Science from Biota University. After completing the fifth year and the graduation requirements of the School of Engineering, a B.S. degree in Engineering will be awarded by the University of Southern California. Students interested in this program must plan their course of study with departmental approval. Physical science majors automatically meet the general education requirement of eight units of science and mathematics. The language require ment is the minimum of two years in high school or one semester in college.
