BIOLA UNIVERSITY EXTENSION An Extension/Continuing Education Program of Biola University Inc. Biola offers regular educational studies in extension centers to serve the Christian community more fully than is possible when restricted to the La Mirada campus. All courses are designed, staffed and administered 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 Christian collegiate level in­ struction 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. Additionally, many Christian laymen desire to enrich both themselves and their ministries by enrolling (either for credit or as an auditor) in these extension courses. Extension courses are identical to those taught at the La Mirada campus. Graduate extension students normally will be required to com­ plete the admissions 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-oriented courses not readily available to them. Specific short and long term non-credit educa­ tional experiences, designed to meet the stated needs of indi­ viduals, organizations and churches are developed and im­ plemented through the extension office. The purpose of education by extension is to move the university classroom -10 local communities. Thus, the available student services at the extension locations are specific 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 addition extension students are permitted access to the on-campus library. They are also encouraged to use local library resources. The doctrinal statement found in the current Biola University catalog is the same one used at the school's founding and is adhered to without mental reservation by our administration, faculty and staff. This likewise applies to extension students. Extension tuition for undergraduate courses is currently $85 per unit for credit and $45 per semester unit to audit. Graduate tuition is $122 per unit for credit or au'dit students. A brochure detailing other extension policies and procedures, together with current course offering may be obtained from: Director of Extension Biola University 13800 Biola Avenue La Mirada, CA 90639
