Also owilable 1s a course sequence schedule listing when alternate year courses will be ottered. Mast laboratory courses in biological scrence have a 520 laboratory fee. Vocational Scope The biologrcal science major 1s intended tohove strength 1n the foundations of muthemulics, physics and chen11stry Breadth 1n the major areas of biology is included in the care curriculum ta serve as a base for adwnced or mare specialized study. !he scape of the care currrculum emphasizes the principles of brology in all farms of life. The b1ological science major is intended to prepare students for the following: (I) further study in the health related fields (medicine, denlistry, medical technology, physical therapy, physrc1an assistant, veterinary medicine, pharmacy,, 12) further study in the teaching fields (college, nursing, health sciences:, } graduate study in general bralagy or aspecific area within biology (zoology, botany and microbiology); '.4 terminal study 1n primary or secondary educotron; (5) biology applied to agriculture, busi ness, missions; and (6) camp administration/naturalist, outdoor educator Admission Requirements High school requirements ore: one year chemistry, one year physics and three years mathematics. One year of biology is desrrable. Deficiencies can be fulfilled with perm1ssron from the depar tment of brolog1col soence.

"Bible For Graduates" Program There is arecognized need for ospecialized program in biblical studies for the college or professional school graduate who wishes to be better prepared for Chrrstion service. Biol □ otters such o course of study. This course is not intended as a substitute far theological seminary education or aBible inslitute study diploma program, but rs designed ta give the graduate who hos not had a solid foundation in the Word of God such afoundalion. This course is designed ta impart ta the graduate student sound biblical knowledge through the three principal systems of Bible study: survey, analysis and exposition. It is intended that this course of stu dy will foster independent study of the Word . In the event that the student has had any of the requrred courses in the program, appropriate substitutions may be made. It is believed that the thirty unrts required in the program will give the student abroad background in a relatively short period of time. Acourse of study leading to the Master of Arts degree 1s awilable through Biola's graduate school, Jalbat Theological Seminary and School of Theol ogy. Please see page G-25 far details.
Associate Profe ssors: Kuld, Lin, Payne, Von Duesen Objectives: Upon completion of the biologicol science m □ ior, it is intended that the student beable to: evaluate and apply the scientific method to historicol and current prob lems inthefieldof biology andrelate it tobrooder opplico tions inlife; integra te per tinent scrip tu ral principles with known biologicol fa cts; know bosic.biologicol fun ctions of livingorgan isms and relate these functions to o better under stand ing of himse lf; communicote by usi ngscient if ic la ng uage and technico l terminology; ident ify the interrelationships betweenthe various biologicol dis cipl ines; state the levels of biologicol organiza tion (hie rarchy); expla in the re lat ionship of chemistry to biologicol systems; unde rstand ene rgy dynamics in biologicol systems; dis cuss the conceptual framework of population biology; describe the processes of genetics ot the mo le cu lar and orgonismol levels; explain the cell theory; express the scriptural view of creation and discuss the theories of evolution and origins; construct otaxonomic systemfor some cote gory of organisms; use and unde rstand the theory behind some of the instrumentationand tech niques cu rrently used in scientific investigation; describe the control systems of plants and animals (hormonal, neural, muscular, etc.); and integrate environmental and natura l history concepts wi th recreation and compi ng phi losophy and admi nistration. Biological Science Major Requirements for General Biology, Pre Med or Med. Tech for the Bachelor of Science Degree The care curriculum 1n biology requires 40 unrts, including 111, 211, 222, 312, 322, 401, and either 470 or 450 and aminimum of four units of lower division electives and 14 units of upper division electives. (Biology 211 1s replaced by 271 or 301 for med-tech emphasis.) Thirty-two units of supporting sciences are requrred; I8 in chemistry and 14 1n mothemotrcal and physrcal sciences. The erght' units of general education science requirement are me t by the completion of the major if at least 3uni tsof math ore completed within the major requirements.
