"Biola's extended education program is designed for individuals who desire to develop their skills and further their academic preparation without interrupting employment or ministry commitments. The program is noted for maintaining the same commitment to Scripture, balance and academic excellence that exists in the university's on-campus programs." - Ted Barnett Director of Extended Education Special Programs STUDIES ABROAD
Applications for the fall must be completed in January. For further information please contact Dr. R. Buss, Director of Biola Abroad, 13800 Biola Avenue, La Mirada, California 90639. There are other opportunities for travel each summer and occa sionally at other times during the year. Tours are directed by those with experience in travel and are offered at a nominal price. Although these tours are not limited to Biola University students, it is expected that those joining a tour will be in basic agreement with the Christian viewpoint and the standards of conduct held by Biola University. In addition, it is expected that the individual's health will be strong enough to stand the demanding rigors of travel. For information write to the office of admissions and records. HOLY LAND STUDIES Talbot Seminary will transfer up to 12 units of elective credit for graduate level courses taken at the Institute of Holy Land Studies, Jerusalem, Israel. SUMMER SESSION A growing and continuing summer session program provides students with the opportunity for a greater degree of flexibility in planning their total program. Students may enrich their course of study and reduce the overall time spent in school or decrease their regular course load by careful selection of summer session courses. Visiting students find it refreshing to study in a different atmosphere and perhaps a different locale and entering students find it helpful in gaining advanced standing. Work taken may be applied to both the degree and the teaching credential programs. Instruction is offered in standard courses by the regular Biola faculty and capable visiting professors. Courses offered cover the areas of art, Bible, theology, Greek, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, biolog ical science, sociology and other subjects, including education courses for teaching credential candidates. Graduate courses in theology and psychology enable graduate students to continue their programs during summer sessions. Credit is also available in connection with excellent foreign tours conducted during the summer. Tuition, room and board are lower than regular charges at private colleges; total costs are competitive with state summer session charges. See section on financial information for summer session tuition. Certain courses or workshops may be offered in the summer that are not listed in this bulletin. Courses may be innovative or the content may be in response to specialized needs or current topics. Such courses will be described in the separate summer session Bulletin.
Biola Abroad is an in-residence program offering an academic semester in Europe. Students are given the opportunity to broaden their perspectives and integrate learning with experi ence. To bring culture to life, classwork is richly supplemented by field trips. Classes are conducted in English and courses of instruction and credits are the same as those on the La Mirada campus. Because of economic and political instability, programs abroad are under constant review. A strong effort is made to offer a quality program at a reasonable price. Academic semesters are planned with a German orientation each fall beginning 1983. Course offerings are primarily in the area of general education requirements on the sophomore level, but some upperclassmen with an interest in the humanities toward the B.A., B.M. or B.S. may apply. All participants must be full-time students and choose one from each of the five following blocks of classes for 12-15 units of credit: BIBLE/CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Units Prerequisites BIB 220 Inductive Bible Study 3 None CED 220 Inductive Bible Study 3 None FOREIGN LANGUAGE GER 106 Conversational German 2 GER 105 GER 201 Intermediate German 4 GER 102 GER 320 Studies in Language and 3 GER 201 Literature: Language HISTORY /CULTURE HIS 100 The West and 4 None the World HIS 330 German Civilization 3 HIS 100 and Culture GER 330 German Civilization 3 HIS 100 and Culture ICS 320 Peoples of the World: 3 HIS 100 Germanic LITERATURE ENG 250 Introductory Studies in 3 ENG l lOA/8 Literature: Germanic GER 320 Studies in Language and 3 ENG 250 Literature: Literature PHYSICAL EDUCATION PED 110 Skills and Techniques: None Volleyball PED 150 Advanced Skills and PED 110 Techniques: Volleyball
