STUDIES ABROAD
An in-residence program offering an academic semester in Europe. Students are given the opportinity to broaden their perspectives and integrate learning with experience. 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. Overseas programs were held in Germany the fall of 1973, 1974 and 1977. 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 French orientation the fall of 1980, and in the area of German studies in 1981. Course offerings are primarily in the area of general education requirements on the sophomore level, but some freshmen and upperclassmen with an interest in the humanities may qualify. For further information write: Dr. R. Buss, Director of Biola Abroad. There are other opportunities for travel each summer and occasionally 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 College 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 College. In addition , it is expected that the individual's health will be strong enough to stand the demanding rigors of travel. For information write: Office of Admissions and Records.
SUMMER SCHOOL
A growing and continuing summer school 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 college, or decrease their regular course load by careful selection of summer school 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 , biological science, sociology and other subjects, including education courses for teaching credential candidates. 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 school charges. Tuition for the Summer of 1980 is $55 a unit of credit. Certain courses or workshops may be offered in the Summer School 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 School bulletin. Requests for the Summer School bulletin , which is available about February 15, and application forms for admission should be addressed to the Office of Admissions and Records. Admission to the summer program does not presuppose or grant acceptance to the college for the regular school year.
