Engineering : Biolo University in cooperation with the University · of Southern California offers o five-year program in engineering. Students attend Biolo University for three yea rs toking courses in · physics, chemistry, Biblical studies and the liberal arts. The final 1\111 years ore token in the School of Engineering ot the University of Southern California. Upon completion of Biola Un iversity re quirements for graduation, which would normally occur at the end of the fou rthyear, ostudent will receive oB.S. degree in Physicol Science from Biolo University. After completing the fifth year ond the graduation requirements of the School of Engineering, oB.S. degree in Engineering will be awarded by the University of Southern California. Students interested in this program must pion their course of study with departmental oppro111I. Physicol science majors outomoticolly meet the general educa tion requirement of eight units of science ond mathematics. The language requirement is the minimum of 1\111 years in high school or one semester in college.

In order to provide octuol field experience beyond summer mrk ond senior year field mrk, o relationship wos formed with locol comps and the Recreation & Comp Administration Dept. Students live on-site at o comp ond receive practicol training in the oreos of food service, housekeeping, mointenonce, and obtain programming ond administration experience. The program wos designed for those studentswho have hod limited exposure to the practicol aspects of the fieldof comping orwho have been unable to gain adequate summer experiences. Recreation and comp administration majors (seven to nine each year) pay 8iolo tuition fees and move tothe compsite for the 15 week semester. Theyore provided with room andboard at the comp and give the comp twenty hours of work per week in practicol comp duties. Students may earn from 12-16 units through on-site coursework. The teaching staff of the recreation and comp administration major will provide classroom training in addition to procticol on site training.
Objectives: The physical science major is on interdisciplinmy major designed to give the student o sol id basis in physics, chemistry and mathematics. The program is built around o core curriculum which upon completion enables the student with his advi sor to elect further course work to suit the student's interests and needs. The core curriculum with the appropriate electives selected con serve as prepara tion for various professional schools such as engi neering, secondary education, and the medical and health fields, or for entering ograduate school in one of the many areas of physical sciences. The labora tory experiences gained ore applicable to technical positions such as in quality control and laboratory analysis. Upon completion of the physical science major, it is intended that the student will understand and apply the basic lows and theories of the physical 1v□ rld; demonstrate on ability to do quantitative problem solving; apply the scient ific methods to o research problem; demonstrate good laboratory technique and gain some technical sk ills in at least one area; know how to use the scientific literature for reference; and integrate scientificknowledge and theories with the Christion faith .
