AIR FORCE ROTC
Through arrangements with the University of Southern California both the two- and four-year Air Force ROTC programs and two-, three-, and four-year scholarships are available to qualified men and women attending Biota College. Both aptitude and physical examinations are required. Scholarships cover costs of enrollment , books and a monthly subsistence allowance . The subsis tence allowance is paid also to non-scholarship cadets enrolled in the two-year program and in the last two years of the four-year program. Freshman men and women may enter the four-year program by enrolling in the first year Aerospace Studies Course (ASlO0) at USC. Students desiring the two-year program should apply early in the fall of the year prior to the year in which they wish to enter. Qualified students who are physically qualified and plan to enter pilot training receive 25 hours of free flight instruction during their last year in the program. Academic credit is granted for AFROTC courses in accordance with institutional policies governing transfer credit. The programs lead to commissions as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force Reserve. Note: Four-year scholarships must be applied for before December 15 in the year prior to entering college. Interested students should call the Air Force ROTC office at USC, (213) 746-2670 . BIOLA COLLEGE EXTENSION An Extension/Continuing Education Program of Biola College 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 College and taught in rented facilities. Centers are currently in several locations and more are in the process of being established. Extension (Credit Courses) Extension programs enable Christian students to supplement community college or other higher education studies with distinctively Christian collegiate level instruction 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. Students not currently enrolled at Biota College must file an application for admission to extension courses. Acceptance to extension courses does not guarantee acceptance into the regular degree programs of the college at the La Mirada campus . 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 educational experiences, designed to meet the stated needs of individuals, organizations and churches are developed and implemented through the Extension office. The purpose of education by extension is to move the college classroom to 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 College 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 extens ion students. Extension tuition is currently $73.00 per unit for credit and $40.00 per semester unit to audit.
