"Many components enter into a Bio/a University education, yet a Bio/a education is far more than a summation ofseparate parts. The university seeks to encourage and to facilitate the development within each student of a biblical world view, marked by an integrated and mature consistency of faith, learning and living." - Dr. Robert B. Fischer Vice President for Academic Affairs
