310 MAN, SIN AND SALVATION (3) The study of mon in his origins, nature and perlectians in the image of Gad; the origin, character, transmission, effect and punishment of sin; the saving mrk of the triuneGad as carried out in the redemptive act centering in Christ. 410 INTERPRETIVE SYSTEMS, THE CHURCH AND LAST THINGS (3) The major interpretive-theological systems, especially cov enant theology and its various subdivisions; historical premillennialism and dispensotionolism; the church in its universal and local aspects; the last things, includingthe tribulation, return of Christ, the Kingdom, resurrection and judgment. In-depth studies in specific areas of theology, such as bibliology, angelology and soteriology May be repeated for a maximum of six units with different content. Consent required. 468 THEOLOGY OF MISSIONS (3) The biblical basis of missions and the position of missions in the life of the Church. Elective Courses 450 ADVANCED STUDIES IN THEOLOGY (3) 480 THEOLOGICAL RESEARCH (1-3) Research in the solution of specific doctrinal problems. Sec tions offered in areas such os biblical authority, contemporary problems, missions, prophetic problems and doctrinal bibliography. Consent required. Upper division New Testament credit can be given for taking either or both of Greek 405, 406. "Bible For Graduates" Program There isa recognized need for ospecialized program in biblical studies for the college or professional school graduate who wishes to be better prepared for Christion service. Biola offers such a course of study. This course is not intended as o substitute for theological seminary education or a Bible institute study diploma program, but is designed togive the graduate who has not had a solid foundation in the Word of God such afoundation. This course is designed to import to 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 study will foster independent study of the Word. In the event thot the student has hod any of the required courses in the program, appropriate substitutions moy be made. It is believed thot the thirty units required in the program will give the student a broad background in a relatively short period of time. Acourse of study leading to the Master of Arts degree is available through Biala's graduate school, Talbot Theological Seminary ond School of Theol ogy. Please see page ?? for details.
Biological Education (Secondary) Requirements For the Bachelor of Science Degree Biology requirements ore 40 units, including 110, 111 , 211, 222, 312, 322, 401 and either 470 or 450 and a minimum of !Iva units of lower division electives and 14 units of upperdivision electives. Eighteen units of supporting sciences including Chemis try 105, 106 and 301. The eight units of general education science requirement ore met if at least three units of math are completed within the major requirements. Professional education courses required by the deportment of education are 300, 330, 410, 425, 435, 450 and 452. Deportment Minor: 20 units, 14 of which must be upper division. The core curriculum is recommended unless specific needs dictate otherwise. Specific minor requirements ore to be approved by a departmental advisor. The generol education requirement for a foreign language for those following a biology major may be met by !Iva years of high school language or the first four units of a college language. Curriculum charts for biology, pre-med, heolth related, educa tion and outdoor education may be obtained in the departmental office: Science Hall, Roam 113. Also available is a course sequence schedule listing when alternate year courses will be offered. Mast labarotary courses in biological science have a $20 laboratory fee. Vocational Scope The biological science major is intended ta have strength in the foundations of mathematics, physics and chemistry. Breadth in the major areas of biology is included in the core curriculum to serve as a base for advanced or mare specialized study. The scape af the core curriculum emphasizes the principles of biology in all forms of life. The biological science major is intended ta prepare students for the following: (1) further study in the health related fields (medicine, dentistry, medical technology, physical therapy, physician assistant, veterinary medicine, pharmacy); (2) further study in the teaching fields (college, nursing, health sciences); (3) graduate study in general biology or a specific area within biology (zoology, botany and microbiology); (4) terminal study in primary or secondary education; (5) biology applied ta agriculture, busi ness, missions; and (6) camp administration/naturalist, outdoor educator. Admission Requirements High school requirements ore: one year chemisny, one year physics and three years mathematics. One year of biology is desirable. Deficiencies can be ful filled with permission from the department of biological science. Admission to the outdoor educa tion major is by written application, a paper from the student and a personal interview. 100 BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES - LECTURE (3) Unifying principles of biology with emphasis on human organ systems, ecology and principles of genetics. Nat open to biology majors except those with an emphasis in outdoor education. 110 OBSERVATIONAL BIOLOGY - LABORATORY (2) Observational and investigative approach ta biological pro cesses; partial survey of microorganisms, plants and animals. Three hours laboratory, one hour lecture/discussion. Prerequisite: 100 (preferably taken concurrently. ) lab fee: $20. 111 GENERAL BIOLOGY (4) lntrnductary majors course dealing with principles of cell and molecular biology, genetics, natural selection and ecology. labora tory emphasis an investigative approach and experimental tech niques of current day biology. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory lab fee: $20. 120 CURRENT TOPICS IN BIOLOGY (3) Selected topics of current popular interest and concern in the areas of environment, human biology, disease, nutrition and ecology.

Objectives: Upon compl etion of the biological science m□ ior, it is intended that the student be able to: evaluate and apply the scientific method to historical and current problems in the field of biology and relate it to brooder app lications in life; integrate pertinent scriptural principl es with known biological facts; know basic biological functions of livingorgan isms and relate these funct ions to a better under standing of himself; communi cate by using scient ific language and technical terminology; iden tify the interrelationships between the various biological dis ciplines; state the levels of biological organization (hierarchy); explain the relationship of chemistry to biological systems; understand energy dynamics in biological systems; discuss the conceptual framework of population biology; describe the processes of genetics at the molecular and orgonismol levels; explain the ce ll theory; express the scriptural view of creation and discuss the theories of evolution and origins; construct a taxonomic system for some cate gory of organi sms; use and ·understand the the,ory behind some of the ins trumentationand techniques currently used in scientific investigation; describe the control systems of plants and animals (hormonal, neura l, muscular, etc. ); and integrate environmental and natural history concepts with recreat ion and camping philosophy and admini strat ion . Biological Science Major Requirements for General Biology, Pre Med or Med Tech for the Bachelor of Science Degree The core curriculum in biology requires 40 units, including 111 , 211 , 222, 312, 322, 401, andeither 470 or 450 and aminimum of four units of lower division electives and 14 units of upper division electives. (Biology 211 is replaced by 271 or 301 for med-tech emphasis.) Th irty-tlva units of supporting sciences ore required; 18 in chemistry and 14 in mathematical and physical sciences. The eight units of general education science requirement ore met by the completion of the major if at least 3units of math ore completed within the major requirements.
