GENERAL UNIVERSITY INFORMATION
"For 75 years God has blessed Bio/a in our ministry of equipping men and women for Christian leadership. While small enough to assure a strong teaching emphasis and student access to the faculty, we are large enough to provide the resources necessary for a first-rate education from a biblical framework and a commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ. "On one campus Bio/a has a school of arts, sciences and professions dedicated to a thorough liberal arts education that teaches Christian values; a seminary and school of theology committed to the infallible Word of God; a school ofpsychology that integrates faith and learning; and a school of intercultural studies devoted to help carry out the great commission. These resources provide the oportunity for a synergistic educational experience, an opportunity we believe will make a difference in the life of each student." - Dr. Clyde Cook Bio/a University President
"Based squarely on biblical principles, Bio/a University is committed to providing a quality educational experience through the practical integration of faith and learning in every aspect ofstudent life. Our goal is the total development of each graduate as one who has learned how to live, not just how to make a living.,, - Dr. J. Vincent Morris Vice Presidcent for University Student Affairs and Campus Resources General
Information Carrying on a tradition of educational excellence that dates back 76 years, Biola University now encompasses four distinct schools: The School of Arts, Sciences and Professions , Rosemead School of Psychology, Talbot Theological Seminary, and The School of Intercultural Studies and World Missions. Offering three baccalaureate degrees in 24 majors, 13 master ' s and three doctoral degrees, Biola's commitment to academic excellence is firmly rooted in its adherence to an in-depth, knowl edgeable and alive Christianity. Each year, over 3200 students find Biola's unique blend of faith and learning conducive to their academic and vocational goals. HISTORICAL SKETCH The cornerstone of the original Bible Institute building in Los Angeles - and the future university - was laid on May 31, 1913, and dedicated with these words: For the teaching of the truths for which the Institute stands, its doors are to be open every day of the year, and all people, without reference to race, color, class or creed will ever be welcome to its privileges. Spoken by Lyman Stewart, president of the Institute and founder of the Union Oil Company, the words captured the vision of Biola's founders. Stewart, together with T. C. Horton, had initi ated the Bible Institute, with the first permanent organization taking shape in 1908. By 1912, the school had grown in its outreach and constituency sufficiently to call R. A. Torrey, a leader in the field of Christian education, as the first dean. The next seven decades have witnessed tremendous growth in the development and outreach of the school. Under the leadership of Dr. Louis T. Talbot, president from 1932 to 1952, the Bible Institute program became a four year course , leading to degrees in theology, Christian education and sacred music . The School of Missionary Medicine came into being in 1945, laying the founda tion for Biola's current baccalaureate nursing program. In 1949, the Bible Institute was renamed Biola College . Dr. Samuel H. Sutherland became president in 1952 and with his leadership, the college obtained regional and professional accred itation. Additionally, many new programs of study were intro duced, including Talbot Theological Seminary. The demands imposed by the growing student body and the enlarged curric ulum prompted the purchase of a seventy-five acre site in La Mirada. Biola moved to the new site in 1959. Dr. Sutherland retired as president in 1970, but continues to lend leadership as a member of Biola's board of trustees. That same year, Dr. J. Richard Chase became Biola's sixth president. In the fall of 1981 , the undergraduate programs in psychology
were merged with Rosemead's graduate programs, forming the present Rosemead School of Psychology. Dr. Clyde Cook became the seventh president ofBiola on June 1, 1982. Under his leadership, the School of Intercultural Studies and World Missions was instituted as part of the university, beginning in the fall of 1983. Talbot Theological seminary and School of Theology also began in the fall of 1983 as the result of a merger between appropriate undergraduate programs and the graduate programs of Talbot Theological Seminary. Because of the university's heritage and commitment, its academic basis is broader than that of the standard college of arts and sciences. Terminal and preparatory programs lead to service in both church-related vocations and the many other vocations and professions embraced by the present curricula. In addition, the university is a Christian institution of higher education with out any denominational affiliation. From an institute to a university, Biola' s real cornerstone has remained the same: commitment to Jesus Christ and biblical Christianity (within the evangelical Protestant framework) as well as to the spiritual, academic and holistic growth of those who are personally committed to Him.

He is a divine person possessed of all the attributes of Deity, and should be worshipped as God by angels and man. "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.' ' All the words that He spoke during His earthly life were the words of God. There is absolutely no error of any kind in them, and by the words of Jesus Christ the words of all other teachers must be tested. The Lord Jesus became in every respect a real man, possessed of all the essential characteristics of human nature. By His death on the cross, the Lord Jesus made a perfect atone ment for sin, by which the wrath of God against sinners is appeased and a ground furnished upon which God can deal in mercy with sinners. He redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. He who Himself was absolutely without sin was made to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. The Lord Jesus is coming again to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly. The return of our Lord is the blessed hope of the believer, and in it God's purposes of grace toward mankind will find their consummation. The Holy Spirit is a person, and is possessed of all the distinctive ly divine attributes. He is God. Man was created in the image of God, after His likeness, but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. All men, until they accept the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior, are lost, darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, hardened in heart, morally and spiritually dead through their trespasses and sins. They can not see, nor enter the kingdom of God until they are born again of the Holy Spirit. Men are justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him who shed the blood, and are born again by the quickening, renewing, cleansing work of the Holy Spirit, through the in strumentality of the Word of God. All those who receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and their Lord, and who confess Him as such before their fellow men, become children of God and receive eternal life. They become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. At death their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness, and at the second coming of Christ their bodies shall be raised and transformed into the likeness of the body of His glory. All those who persistently reject Jesus Christ in the present life shall be raised from the dead and throughout eternity exist in a state of conscious, unutterable, endless torment and anguish. The Church consists of all those who, in this present dispensa tion, truly believe .on Jesus Christ. It is the body and bride of Christ, which Christ loves and for which He has given Himself. There is a personal devil, a being of great cunning and power. ' 'The prince of the power of the air.' ' ' 'The prince of this world.' ' ' 'The god of this age.' ' He can exert vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so. He shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone and shall be tormented day and night forever. NOTE: This doctrinal statement, presented here as originally conceived by the founders of the organization, has been and continues to be the stated theological position of Biola Universi ty. In addition, the following explanatory notes indicate the organization's understanding and teaching position on certain points which could be subject to various interpretations. The Scriptures are to be interpreted according to dispensation al distinctives with the conviction that the return of the Lord for His Church will be premillenial, before the Tribulation, and that the millennium is to be the last of the dispensations.
THE NATURE AND STANDARDS OF BIOLA UNIVERSITY Biola University has long recognized a value in maintaining certain behavioral standards that contribute to the atmosphere on campus, foster fellowship with a wide range of Christians and, in many instances, assist in strengthening our Christian testimony to our community. In this light, Biola University asks both its students and employees to be supportive of this behavioral standard . This institution is for earnest Christians who are sensitive to the many principles of Christian living that are found in the Bible. The institution also states certain specific guidelines for the conduct of faculty, staff and students. Although such regulations are not the basis of our standing in Christ, and are not a necessary consequence of it, they can strengthen the life and testimony of both the individual and the institution. To this end, Biota expects its faculty, staff and students to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages and tobacco and from gambling and dancing. Further, Biola, though appreciating the rich contribution of the arts to mankind, deplores morally degrading elements whenever they are found in the theatre, the entertainment media and literature; Biolans are expected to abstain from all aspects of such that morally degrade. Biola University does not presume to be a censoring agency for all activities; it does, however, expect tangible evidence of maturing Christian convictions and discern ing judgment. Biola reserves the right to dismiss a student who, in its judgment, does not conform either to the stated regulations governing stu dent conduct or to the expressed principles, policies and pro grams of the 1;1niversity. DOCTRINAL STATEMENT Inasmuch as the university is interdenominational and yet theo logically conservative, the Articles of Incorporation contain a doctrinal statement which is given below: The Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revela tion from God Himself, concerning Himself, His being, nature, character, will and purposes; and concerning man, his nature, need and duty and destiny. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind. There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin - Mary, a lineal descendant of David. He lived and taught and wrought mighty works and woQders and signs exactly as is recorded in the four Gospels. He was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate. God raised from the dead the body that had been nailed to the cross. The Lord Jesus after His crucifixion showed Himself to be alive to His disciples, appearing unto them by the space of forty days. After this the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven, and the Father caused Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the Church. The Lord Jesus, before His incarnation, existed in the form of God, and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. In His pre-existent state He was with God and was God.

General Information cont.
The existence of the creation is not explainable apart from the roles of God as the sovereign creator and sustainer of the entire natural realm. Concepts such as theistic or threshold evolution do not adequately explain creation. Though there may be many fillings of the Holy Spirit, there is only one baptism which occurs at the time of regeneration. God gives His gifts to His people, in His sovereignty and not on demand. The charismatic manifestations (e.g. , tongues and healing) had special significance during the revelatory period of the New Testament apostolic era and are not at all a neces sary special work of the Holy Spirit today. Confession before men is viewed as a tangible fruit of salva tion and not as a qualifying condition for salvation. Teaching biblical studies for academic credit at Biola University is a complex situation . A major goal of all teaching is for the student to gain knowledge and understanding of the subject matter as well as familiarity with the methodology of the field. Such a goal is of importance here. The Scriptures, however, are considered more than academic subject matter. They are the Word of God written for the purpose of revealing God and His actions with the desire of bringing people to harmony with Him. Our acceptance of the divine nature and intent of Scripture gives ultimate meaning and direction to all studies relating to the Scriptures . Entailed in the fu1therance of the divine intent of Scripture are many facets of study ranging from the practi cal procedures for the propagation of the Christian faith to the highly technical dimensions of critical biblical studies and philosophical theology. Throughout this diversity of endeavors and the wide variety of gifts and skills employed, however, all participants are finally engaged in a common task which may be summarily stated as the understanding , acceptance and propagation of the biblical faith . THE OBJECTIVES OF THE UNIVERSITY Biola University seeks to instruct Christian men and women in order to produce graduates who are: I . Competent in their field of study; 2. Knowledgeable in biblical studies; 3. Earnest Christians equipped to serve the Christian community and society at large.

"During college, an ever-recurring worry is paying school bills. Finding money is not always as easy as opening the mouth ofa fish but in most cases, it can be. Christ said that we have not because we ask not-it's truly amazing how much aid can be received if one simply applies for financial assistance." - Keith David Johnson English/Speech Communication Student Financial Information BIOLA UNIVERSITY TUITION INFORMATION ANNUAL SUMMER SEMESTER SEMESTER TUITION PER UNIT SESSION INTERTERM AUDIT SCHOOL TUITION U-18 UNITS/ COST 1983 1984 FEE DEGREE/PROGRAM U-18 UNITS SEMESTER 1-11, 19+ PER UNIT PER UNIT PER UNIT UNDERGRADUATE TUITION (including A.S. fee) $2235 $4470 $186 $83 $95 $ 25 SPECIAL STUDENT TUITION (non-degree seeking) Undergraduate Special Students Graduate Special Students (post bacc.) 2235 1704 4470 3408 186 142 83 68 95 80 25 142

The expenses of students at Biota University are shown in the following schedules. The university reserves the right to change all student charges, modify its services or change its programs of study should economic conditions, curriculum revisions or national emergency make it necessary to do so.
