Desc	The School of Science, Technology, and Health Program Description The vision of the School of Science, Technology and Health at Biola University is to equip a new generation of ethically thoughtful professionals in the sciences and health care, grounded in a Christian worldview, educated in an academically rigorous environment, ready to assume positions of leadership, and able to provide the clear moral vision the world desperately needs. In February 2018, Biola University opened the most ambitious building project in its history, the expansive new 91,200 sq. Alton and Lydia Lim Center for Science, Technology, and Health that is he home to the School of Science, Technology, and Health formed in 2016. The School is a consolidation of some of the University's fastest growing, highest demand career opportunities. The building triples the amount of space devoted to science education at Biola enabling students and faculty to study with cutting-edge equipment and in dedicated state-of-the-art laboratories. The School of Science, Technology, and Health currently serves approximately 1,100 undergraduate students and 22 graduate students in the following 16 majors housed within 6 Departments: Biology (BIOS): Biological Sciences, B.S.; Biological Science: Secondary Education, B.S.; Human Biology, B.S.; Environmental Science B.S. Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering (CPE): Biochemistry, B.S.; Chemistry, B.S.; Engineering Physics, B.S.; Physics, B.S; Physical Science B.S. Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD): Speech-Language Pathology, M.S.; Communication Sciences and Disorders, B.S. Kinesiology, Health, and Physical Education (KHPE): Kinesiology, B.S.; Physical Education B.S. Math and Computer Science (MCS); Computer Science, B.S.; Mathematics, B.S. Nursing (NURS): Nursing, B.S. As highly skilled and technically competent scientists and health care providers, Biola graduates will be prepared to enter the workforce or continue their education in graduate or professional schools impacting the world for Jesus Christ to be employed as health care providers, research scientists, government and corporate scientists, and educators. Students focusing on the Biological and Environmental Sciences at Biola acquire the knowledge and develop the skills that will allow them to study and appreciate God's creation at the organismal and biomolecular level, preparing them for a range of health-related careers. Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field, focusing on solving problems involving people and the rest of God's creation. The environmental science program provides the platform to specialize in graduate programs involving marine and terrestrial flora and fauna, environmental policy, planning, and regulation, management of state and federal lands, and pollution control and waste management. That scientific platform can also be used by those passionate about helping people through sustainable development, environmental missions, organic agriculture and environmental education. The Biological Sciences: Secondary Instruction Program at Biola University is to provide an academically stimulating and challenging environment for intellectual and spiritual growth, preparing students to pursue careers as teachers to make an impact as educators in the secondary classroom. The Human Biology degree focuses on the scientific understanding and specific workings of God's most complex design - the human body. Our program provides rigorous coursework, hands-on-training in well-equipped laboratories and a rich independent research experience. As a Biola human biology graduate, students are served by expert pre-med committee and health profession advisors who provide the knowledge base and skills students need to successfully enter graduate studies and the health care profession. Biola's degrees in Biochemistry and Chemistry offers comprehensive preparation in all the core areas of the chemical and molecular sciences. Students engage in rigorous coursework, hands-on-training with the latest chemical instrumentation, as well as a rich independent research experience. As a Biola chemistry graduate, students are fully prepared to pursue professional careers in the field of chemical and molecular sciences, or to continue towards advanced degrees in chemistry or a related field in the molecular sciences. Students focusing on the physical and chemical sciences, including Engineering, study the practical application of scientific knowledge to improve people's lives. Through Biola's Engineering Physics program, which includes a partnership with the University of Southern California, students receive two baccalaureate degrees - an engineering physics degree from Biola, and an engineering degree from USC or another accredited university. These two degrees will prepare students for careers in a wide range of industries and government agencies. Additionally, Biola's Physics major prepares one for graduate school and for a career in a technology-oriented business, industry or government agency. Around the world, demand is growing for mathematicians with a strong grasp of statistics, operations research, data analysis and problem-solving skills. In Biola's Mathematics major, students receive a strong foundation that prepares them for success in a variety of industries, as well as graduate school or teaching. Technology is transforming our world - including how we do business, how we communicate and what we do for entertainment. In this quickly changing landscape, opportunities abound for people with advanced technological skills. Through Biola's Computer Science major, Biola graduates develop knowledge and abilities to innovate, program, solve problems and succeed across a range of careers. Our bodies are intricately designed. The way we steward them - with exercise, nutrition and medical care - can have profound effects on our physical, emotional and spiritual health. In Biola's Kinesiology major, students receive specialized training in human movement and athletic performance, preparing them to be a competent and caring Christian professional in such fields as teaching, exercise science and allied health care. Exercise and physical activity are vital to our health. But to make sure exercise is effective, safe and fun, we need well-trained experts who understand the science of the human body and how best to coach others. In Biola's Physical Education major, students gain extensive knowledge of health, nutrition, fitness and leadership, preparing them to teach, coach or lead sports-related ministries. Millions of people are impacted by physical and cognitive disorders that affect their ability to communicate. Biola's undergraduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders and graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology prepares students to serve their needs, providing them with the specialized knowledge and clinical training needed for graduate school and a career in this important field. For Christians, Nursing is an opportunity to model the care and compassion of Jesus to hurting people - sometimes during the most traumatic or trying moments of their lives. In Biola's nursing program, students learn to provide competent nursing care through rigorous coursework, through our skills and simulation labs and through clinical experiences at area hospitals and health care agencies.

Desc	Talbot School of Theology: The mission of Talbot School of Theology is the development of disciples of Jesus Christ whose thought processes, character, and lifestyles reflect those of our Lord, and who are dedicated to disciple making throughout the world. The theological position of Talbot School of Theology is Christian, Protestant, and theologically conservative. The school is interdenominational by nature and is thoroughly committed to the proclamation of the great historic doctrines of the Christian church. It definitely and positively affirms historic orthodoxy in the framework of an evangelical and premillennial theology that is derived from a grammatical-historical interpretation of the Bible. It earnestly endeavors to make these great doctrinal truths a vital reality in the spiritual life of this present generation. The seminary aims to train students who believe and propagate the great doctrines of the faith as they are summarized in our Articles of Faith and Theological Distinctives. Spiritually, it is the purpose of Talbot to develop in the lives of its students a spiritual life that is in harmony with the great doctrines taught, so that they may grow in the grace as well as in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Specifically, the goal is to educate and graduate students characterized by a commitment to serving Christ, missionary and evangelistic zeal, and a solid knowledge of the Scriptures. To accomplish these objectives, the seminary conducts a chapel program, a spiritual formation program, and gives attention to its students' ministry/service opportunities. Academically, it is the purpose of the seminary to provide its students with the best in theological education so they may be equipped to preach and teach the Word of God intelligently and present it zealously to the world. In keeping with this goal, every department is geared to emphasize the clear and accurate exposition of the Scriptures. The biblical languages are utilized to enhance an accurate interpretation of the inspired text. Bible exposition, by synthesis or analysis, presents a connected and related interpretation of the infallible Book. Systematic Theology moves toward a well-organized and structured arrangement of biblical truth. Historical Theology engages itself to acquaint the student with the progress of the inerrant Word among the household faith throughout the Christian era. Philosophy furnishes the elements whereby the servant of Christ may give a well-developed reason for the faith that is within. Missions, Christian Ministry and Leadership, and Christian Education strive to perfect in the student a skillful and winsome presentation of truth, privately and publicly. Talbot stands for one faith, one integrated curriculum, one eternal Word of God and its effective proclamation to a modern generation with its multiplicity of needs. It is the purpose of the seminary to prepare for the gospel ministry those who believe, live, and preach the great historic doctrines of faith that have been committed to the church. To realize these broad objectives, the seminary offers nine degree programs, each with its own distinctive purpose.	Desc

Desc	Rosemead School of Psychology: Rosemead School of Psychology-Doctoral Programs Rosemead's doctoral programs in clinical psychology are designed primarily to train practitioners in professional psychology. They are designed for students interested in pursuing careers in applied areas of clinical psychology. While all students receive training in the basic areas of scientific psychology relevant to the practice of psychology, the focus of Rosemead's doctoral training is on the development of professional skills and the utilization of theory and research in professional practice. Within this focus students are admitted to either the Psy.D. or the Ph.D. program. Approximately 67% of Rosemead's students are enrolled in the Psy.D. and 33% in the Ph.D. Except in unusual circumstances, students do not change programs after admission. While both the Psy.D. and Ph.D. have a common core of basic science and clinical courses, students selecting Rosemead's Psy.D. are generally preparing for full-time positions as psychological practitioners. Those choosing Rosemead's Ph.D. are interested in combining clinical work with other psychological competencies, such as teaching and research. Research training in Rosemead's Ph.D. program is strong in selected areas of ongoing faculty research. Thus the Ph.D. is particularly appropriate for students who desire both to develop quality clinical skills and to develop research skills related to clinical practice. Rosemead's major educational distinctives are its strong professional training orientation and its goal of relating the data and concepts of psychology to those of Christian theology. Since both psychology and theology address the human condition, Rosemead's faculty believes there is a great deal to be gained by an interdisciplinary study of the nature of persons. Consequently, all students take a series of theology courses and integration seminars designed to study the relationship of psychological and theological conceptions of human functioning. This series of courses lengthens Rosemead's doctoral program by approximately one year beyond most four-year clinical programs. While recognizing that the disciplines of psychology and theology have some very different data and methodologies, their overlapping content, goals and principles provide a rich resource for interdisciplinary study. Issues growing out of these overlapping concerns cover a range of topics relating to research, theory and clinical practice. By encouraging this study, Rosemead is attempting to train psychologists with a broad view of human nature that includes sensitivity to the religious dimension of life. Through its interaction with members of the Christian community, Rosemead is also committed to demonstrating to the church the potentially significant contributions an understanding of the data and methods of psychology can make to the Church's role of ministering to the whole person. Applied Psychology B.S. The Applied Psychology major equips adult-learners to apply biblically integrated psychological constructs in their scholarship, workplace, and service to the church, community and society. The Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Psychology is an undergraduate major specifically designed for adult-learners with course content delivered in a non-traditional manner, maximizing flexibility and accessibility for all enrolled students. The Applied Psychology major includes course work emphasizing psychosocial development, integration, research, and foundational theories of psychological study. Since students select a psychology major for a variety of reasons, a broad range of courses have been selected for students desiring employment or advancement in a variety of fields which may include education, ministry, human resources, business, and human services. The courses are chosen to concurrently satisfy the prerequisites for many graduate programs in clinical psychology, marriage and family therapy, educational psychology, school counseling, and other related fields of study. Psychology B.A. The mission of the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology encompasses: 1. Training in psychology. The objective is to provide the foundations appropriate for further learning whether in graduate school, other vocational training, or in general living. 2. Promotion of investigation and integration of psychology and theology. Investigation and integration will take the form of incorporation of psychology and biblical training in the integration of faith, learning, and living. 3. Development and promotion of the use of the education in ministry and service. Ministry and service takes the form of active participation in the functions of the Christian and secular communities. Degree Program A Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. The psychology major requires the completion of a minimum of 36 credits beyond PSYC 200, 24 of which must be upper-division.	Desc

Schedule D, Part IV, Line 1b Agent, trustee, custodian, or other intermediary arrangement	BIOLA (OR ITS DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL) IS NAMED AS ADMINISTRATOR OR SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE ON TESTAMENTARY GIFTS (ESTATES OR REVOCABLE LIVING TRUSTS.) WHEN THE AGREEMENT MATURES UPON THE DEATH OF THE GRANTOR, BIOLA ASSUMES ITS FIDUCIARY ROLE TO MARSHAL ASSETS, PAY EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTE BENEFICIARY PAYMENTS.

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds	THE ENDOWMENT EARNINGS ARE USED TO UNDERWRITE THE PROGRAMS AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNIVERSITY, WITH SPECIFIC APPROPRIATIONS MADE TO STUDENT AID, ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND FACILITY MAINTENANCE.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	The University follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The University is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. The University has also been recognized by the California Franchise Tax Board as exempt from California franchise and income taxes under Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The University has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The University has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Explanation	BIOLA UNIVERSITY AWARDS BOTH MERIT AND NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS AT THE GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE LEVELS. MERIT AWARDS ARE BASED ON ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA SUCH AS ACADEMIC, ATHLETIC, AND MUSIC ABILITIES. THESE TYPICALLY HAVE ACADEMIC OR PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWAL. CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY BASED ON STATED REQUIREMENTS IS MONITORED BY THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE OR BY THE OFFICE THAT MAKES THE AWARDS. NEED-BASED AWARDS ARE TYPICALLY AWARDED BASED ON SPECIFIC FORMULAS THAT ARE BASED ON AN INSTITUTIONAL OR FEDERAL COST AMOUNT COMBINED WITH THE FEDERAL EFC DETERMINED BY THE FAFSA. CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY IS NORMALLY CONTINGENT ON ONGOING NEED IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS. MOST OF THE GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED BY BIOLA ARE FUNDED FROM GENERAL FUNDS; HOWEVER, A PORTION ARE FUNDED FROM RESTRICTED FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY DONORS, AND ARE AWARDED BASED ON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY THE DONORS. SOME OF THESE FUNDS ARE AWARDED BY VARIOUS CAMPUS DEPARTMENTS, AND SOME THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS ADMINISTERED BY THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE. THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE WORKS CLOSELY WITH ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE OFFICES TO MONITOR AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FROM BOTH THE GENERAL FUND AND RESTRICTED FUND ACCOUNTS.	ExplanationTxt
