"I first decided to attend Bio/a because of its spiritual emphasis and reputation for academic excellence. lfaving attended Bio/a for two and a halfyears now, I have found both to be true. Another exciting fringe benefit has been the limited size ofmy science classes, allowing me to develop close relationships with students and professors.,, Kathy Woodward Physical Science student

Professors: Fischer, Kurtz, Rynd
Objectives: The physical science major is an interdisciplinary major designed to give the student a solid basis in phys ics , chemistry and mathematics . The program is built around a core curriculum which upon completion enables the student with his advisor to elect further course work to suit the students' interests and needs . The core curriculum with the appropriate electives selected can serve as preparation for various professional schools such as engineering, secondary education and the medical and health fields, or for entering a graduate school in one of the many areas of the physical sciences. The laboratory experiences gained are applicable to technical positions such as in quality control and laboratory analysis. Upon completion of the physical science major , it is intended that the student will understand and apply the basic laws and theories of the physical world; demonstrate an ability to do quantitative problem solving; apply the scientific methods to a research prob lem; demonstrate good laboratory technique and gain some tech nical skills in at least one area ; know how to use the scientific literature for reference ; and integrate scientific knowledge and theories with the Christian faith . Department Major: The required courses are: Chemistry 105, 106,301, 402; Physics 211, 222, 331 ,341; Math 105 , 106, 205; physical science, math or biology electives , 17 units ( 11 must be upper division). Department Major with education emphasis: Chemistry 105 , 106, 301, 402 ; Physics 211, 222, 331, 341 ; Math 105 , 106; physical science or math electives, 12 units and education courses , 12 units. Recommended electives for those specializing in the following areas are : Chemistry: Chemistry 350; Physics 411; Math 2 IO or 333 or
patterns of world distribution. Either semester. IOI PHYSICAL SCIENCE AND GEOGRAPHY SURVEY - LABORATORY (I)
Introductory laboratory work designed to accompany the lecture course. Must be taken concurrently or subsequent to the lecture. Three hours laboratory . Either semester. Laboratory fee: $10. 103 GENERAL GEOLOGY (3) Introduction to the principles of geology and related earth sci ences; nature of geological process; earth history as interpreted by uniformitarian and catastrophist geology. 110 ASTRONOMY (3) Descriptive general education course , designed to acquaint the student with the current state of knowledge of our solar sys tem , the Milky Way , galaxies , quasars and cosmology . Three hours lecture , one hour laboratory . Field trip fee: $5. 250 SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE (3) Integration of science and biblical truth by comparing the assumptions, methods and theories of science with a biblical world view ; by examining conflicts such as the questions of origins, the miraculous and man's relationship to the en vironment; and by inves tigat ing biblical metaphors that bear upon science.
