Biola University Extension An Extension/Cont inuing Education Pro­ gram of Biola Universit y, Inc. Biola ofkrs regular educational stud ies in extension centers t o serve the Christian community more fully than is possible when restricted to the La Mirada campus. All courses are designed, staffed and ad­ ministered by Biola University and taught in rented facilities. Extension (Credit Courses) Extension programs enable Christian students to supplement community college or other higher education studies including graduate courses with distinctively Chris­ tian collegiate and graduate level instruc­ tion for balance in their education. Many students anticipate future transfer to Biola and desire to have completed some of the required Bible and theology coursework prior to on-campus matriculation. Addi­ tionally, many Christian laymen desire to enrich both themselves and their min istries by enrolling (either for credit or as an audi­ tor) in these extension courses. Extension courses are identical to those taught at the La Mirada campus. Graduate extension students normally will be required to complete the admis­ sions process for a degree program before taking extension courses for credit Continuing Education (Non-Credit Courses) Continuing education courses help meet the needs of individuals desirous of biblical and Christian-or iented courses not readily available to them. Specific short and long term non-cred it educational experiences, designed to meet the stated needs of indi ­ viduals, organizations and churches are de­ veloped and implemented through the ex­ tension office.

The purpose of education by extension is to move the university classroom to local communities. Thus. the available student services at the extension locations are spe­ cific to meet those needs. Those services essential to a residential campus setting are not furnished. Adequate library resources are provided at each extension location to support the specific courses offered. In ad­ dition extension students are permitted access to the on-campus library They are also encouraged to use local library re­ sources. The doctrinal statement found 1n the current Biola Un1vers1ty catalog is the same one used at the school's founding and 1s adhered to without mental reservation by our administration, faculty and $taff This likewise applies to extension students. A brochure detailing other extension policies and procedures, together with current course offering may be obtained
