Desc	The School of Arts and Sciences aims to teach the connectedness of all knowledge, helping students explore a wide range of disciplines and the contributions that each can make to a student's understanding. From a Biblical worldview, we seek to challenge students to explore and develop knowledge, skills, and attributes that will enable them to understand, express, care for, and celebrate God's diverse and complex world; that in it they might seek and humbly serve the kingdom of God. Beyond the classroom, our students learn experientially, connecting their studies to the contexts of life that they might love their neighbors in the places and positions beyond Biola where God may lead them. More than granting degrees, we hope to awaken the joys of learning so that the liberal arts might be a lifelong passion. 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 2016, Biola University broke ground on 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 will serve as the home to the new School of Science, Technology, and Health also formed in 2016. The School is a new consolidation of some of the University's fastest growing, highest demand career opportunities. The building will open in early 2018 and will triple 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 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.; Environmental Science, B.S.; Human Biology, B.S. Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering (CPE): Biochemistry, B.S.; Chemistry, B.S.; Engineering Physics, B.S.; Physical Science, B.S.; Physics, 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 bimolecular 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 offer 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 Distinctive. 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.

Desc	Rosemead School of Psychology: Rosemead's educational distinctive 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 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. Students desiring to focus their professional practice on children, couples or families may take an emphasis in Family-Child Psychology. This emphasis requires completion of elective courses in addition to the regular doctoral requirements. Students emphasizing Family-Child Psychology also write their dissertations or doctoral research papers in a family-child area, spend their year-long outpatient practicum in a setting where at least one-half of their work is with children, couples or families, and complete an internship in a setting where at least one-third of their work is with a family-child population. They may also elect other family related courses such as Development of Religious Understanding in Children and Adolescents, and Human Sexuality. At the heart of an effective training program in professional psychology is the opportunity to develop the personal insights and skills necessary for empathic and effective interaction with a wide range of settings and clientele. In order to meet this need, Rosemead has developed a sequence of experiences designed to promote personal growth and competence in interpersonal relationships as well as specific clinical skills. Beginning in their first year of study, students participate in a variety of activities designed to promote professional awareness and personal growth. The first year activities include active training in empathy skills in an on-campus pre-practicum experience. The pre-practicum course consists of exercises to assess and facilitate interpersonal skills, and an initial opportunity for the student to work with a volunteer college client in a helping role. During the second year, all students participate in interpersonal training therapy. As participants, students personally experience some of the growth-producing aspects of interpersonal relationships. In addition, students begin their formal practicum and psychotherapy lab courses in the second year. Students are placed in such professional facilities as outpatient clinics, hospitals, college counseling centers, public schools and community health organizations on the basis of their individual readiness, needs, and interest. These practicum experiences are supervised both by Rosemead's faculty and qualified professionals working in the practicum agencies. In the psychotherapy lab courses, students receive both instruction and supervised experience, offering clinical services from the theoretical orientation of the course. Students elect lab courses from offerings such as Introduction to Child & Adolescent Therapy, Marriage and Family Therapy, Group Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Children, Gestalt Therapy, and Biofeedback. During the third year most doctoral students take two or three psychotherapy lab courses, work in an adult outpatient practicum setting, and begin individual training therapy. This therapy is designed to give the student first-hand experience in the role of a client and is considered an opportunity for both personal growth and for learning therapeutic principles and techniques. A minimum of 50 hours of individual training therapy is required. Such issues as timing, choice of therapist and specific goals are determined by students in conjunction with their advisors and the Clinical Training Committee. When doctoral students reach their fourth year, most of their time is spent in electives from the therapy, integration, and general psychology courses, advanced practicum assignments, and independent study or research. Students' research culminates in the production of an approved dissertation or doctoral paper. This step-by-step progression in professional training experiences gives the student personal experience with a wide range of personalities in a variety of settings and provides the necessary preparation for a full-time internship during the year of study.

Desc	OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: Christian Apologetics: This specialized graduate program (Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics) is an interdisciplinary degree that educates students to articulate and defend the great truths of the historic Christian faith from the standpoint of philosophy, history, Biblical studies, theology, and cultural studies. The Christian Apologetics department also offers special learning program and lectures for the public and churches, as well as a certificate program in the defense of the faith for lay people. Science and Religion: The Masters of Arts Degree in Science and Religion is designed to provide individuals with the essential background in theology, history, and philosophy necessary to integrate evangelical Christianity with modern science. The master's program relates to Christianity and the sciences are designed for Christian students who have basic training in a natural science. This program also offers advanced seminars that focus on current theological issues within specific scientific disciplines. COOK SCHOOL OF INTERCULTURAL STUDIES The primary objective of the Cook School of Intercultural Studies arises from the mandate given by the Lord Jesus Christ to make disciples of every nation based on an understanding of both human beings and culture. The CSICS strives to enable students to demonstrate knowledge and an understanding of human beings within their cultural setting. We further strive to enable students to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the theological, historical, sociological anthropological and linguistic issues associated with the cross-cultural communication of the gospel through a broad range of professions and vocations. It is the desire of the faculty that each student in the program will find in their particular career choice the means to effective cross-cultural personal ministry and evangelism. In the undergraduate departments students are exposed to the foundational concepts within anthropology, cross-cultural engagement, cultural diversity, cross-cultural communication, and theologizing within cultural contexts. Students work closely with their advisors to build a program according to their career objectives. They are encouraged to choose specific concentrations that provide the skills for their chosen careers, or in combination with other disciplines in the university to combine their cross-cultural skills with preparation in bicultural education, cross-cultural media communication, social work, cross-cultural counseling, international relations or international business administration. In the graduate departments students engage in a deeper level of critical analysis of theories and practices associated with global issues, the internationalization of the Christian faith, the study of cultures and culture change, and the formation of pedagogical concepts and practices appropriate to cross-cultural educational theory and practice. A unique feature of the graduate studies degrees is the use of blended delivery systems that allow students who are currently in working careers to pursue their degrees while still remaining in their careers. THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION: The School of Education serves a diverse student body, consisting of more than 500 students: 300 undergraduate students (240 Liberal Studies majors and approximately 160 Single Subject majors) and 210 graduate students. Our full-time faculty is comprised of outstanding professionals with decades of combined experience in classroom and administrative settings. At the undergraduate level, the School of Education is home to the Liberal Studies major, which consistently ranks among the five most popular undergraduate majors at Biola. At the graduate level, the School of Education offers the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) and Master of Arts in Education (M.A.Ed.) Programs and can be taken in person, online, or in combination and can be tailored to meet the individual interests of new and experienced teachers alike. In 2017, we will also launch two new online graduate programs: the M.S. in Special Education and the M.S. in Curriculum, Instruction, and Publication. Our state-accredited teacher preparation program offers teaching credentials (multiple subject; single subject; and education specialist, mild/moderate) at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. We also offer the Clear Credential at the graduate level and five levels of Early Childhood permits at the undergraduate and graduate level. All credential and permit programs are accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

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

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services	(Expenses $ 22,343,247 including grants of $ 5,966,832)(Revenue $ 26,369,672) OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: Christian Apologetics: This specialized graduate program (Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics) is an interdisciplinary degree that educates students to articulate and defend the great truths of the historic Christian faith from the standpoint of philosophy, history, Biblical studies, theology, and cultural studies. The Christian Apologetics department also offers special learning program and lectures for the public and churches, as well as a certificate program in the defense of the faith for lay people. Science and Religion: The Masters of Arts Degree in Science and Religion is designed to provide individuals with the essential background in theology, history, and philosophy necessary to integrate evangelical Christianity with modern science. The master's program relates to Christianity and the sciences are designed for Christian students who have basic training in a natural science. This program also offers advanced seminars that focus on current theological issues within specific scientific disciplines. COOK SCHOOL OF INTERCULTURAL STUDIES The primary objective of the Cook School of Intercultural Studies arises from the mandate given by the Lord Jesus Christ to make disciples of every nation based on an understanding of both human beings and culture. The CSICS strives to enable students to demonstrate knowledge and an understanding of human beings within their cultural setting. We further strive to enable students to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the theological, historical, sociological anthropological and linguistic issues associated with the cross-cultural communication of the gospel through a broad range of professions and vocations. It is the desire of the faculty that each student in the program will find in their particular career choice the means to effective cross-cultural personal ministry and evangelism. In the undergraduate departments students are exposed to the foundational concepts within anthropology, cross-cultural engagement, cultural diversity, cross-cultural communication, and theologizing within cultural contexts. Students work closely with their advisors to build a program according to their career objectives. They are encouraged to choose specific concentrations that provide the skills for their chosen careers, or in combination with other disciplines in the university to combine their cross-cultural skills with preparation in bicultural education, cross-cultural media communication, social work, cross-cultural counseling, international relations or international business administration. In the graduate departments students engage in a deeper level of critical analysis of theories and practices associated with global issues, the internationalization of the Christian faith, the study of cultures and culture change, and the formation of pedagogical concepts and practices appropriate to cross-cultural educational theory and practice. A unique feature of the graduate studies degrees is the use of blended delivery systems that allow students who are currently in working careers to pursue their degrees while still remaining in their careers. THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION: The School of Education serves a diverse student body, consisting of more than 500 students: 300 undergraduate students (240 Liberal Studies majors and approximately 160 Single Subject majors) and 210 graduate students. Our full-time faculty is comprised of outstanding professionals with decades of combined experience in classroom and administrative settings. At the undergraduate level, the School of Education is home to the Liberal Studies major, which consistently ranks among the five most popular undergraduate majors at Biola. At the graduate level, the School of Education offers the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) and Master of Arts in Education (M.A.Ed.) Programs and can be taken in person, online, or in combination and can be tailored to meet the individual interests of new and experienced teachers alike. In 2017, we will also launch two new online graduate programs: the M.S. in Special Education and the M.S. in Curriculum, Instruction, and Publication. Our state-accredited teacher preparation program offers teaching credentials (multiple subject; single subject; and education specialist, mild/moderate) at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. We also offer the Clear Credential at the graduate level and five levels of Early Childhood permits at the undergraduate and graduate level. All credential and permit programs are accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. Crowell School of Business The Crowell School of Business prepares students academically with a foundational business education while nurturing their Christian commitment through solid biblical integration in courses and contact with faculty and staff. The mission of the Crowell School of Business is to equip students to develop a biblical worldview so as to see business as ministry: * To prepare students for excellence and leadership in their career. * To be strong in mind and character, and mature in faith so that they will make an impact for God in this time and place. * To develop a student's God-given talents and pursue excellence by maintaining high expectations and proficiency in their unique field of interest. Biola University, through its Crowell School of Business, is nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs to offer a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with concentrations in the following: Business Analytics, International Business, Management, Marketing and Marketing-Management. In 2015, the Crowell School of Business introduced a Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting degree. Each program is structured to give the student broad understanding of the social and economic environment in which Christian business persons function, and provides a common body of knowledge for students who elect this major. Students study economics, finance, management, business law, accounting, and marketing as the core of the major based upon quantitative management skills. The five individual concentrations prepare students through additional specified courses to enter a career field in those areas, or to select a graduate school upon graduation. It is the purpose of the Crowell School of Business to prepare highly skilled, technically competent business persons who have broad preparation in the liberal arts as well, and who can make significant contributions in the workplace or in Christian organizations they may serve. The mission of the Biola MBA Program is to provide advanced business study, integrating biblically based teaching to train and equip business professionals and developing faith, character, and an entrepreneurial spirit to produce Christ-centered men and women to impact their workplace. Building from that heritage, the Biola MBA is a rigorous and broadly based advanced business study. Its hallmark is a passion for creativity, vision, innovative problem solving, and the highest of ethical standards. You will be taught by carefully selected faculty who know first-hand the rigors of 21st century commerce. They are ready to equip and prepare you to impact and transform today's marketplace. New Flex MBA Program The Flex MBA program allows students to customize their MBA experience. An MBA student may take a part-time or a full-time academic load. Applicants have the option to choose to attend full-time if starting in the fall, or may choose to enroll part-time in a fall or spring start. The Crowell School of Business MPAcc program is a 33-unit program (for accounting undergraduates) specifically designed to meet state-established academic requirements for becoming a certified public accountant (CPA). We also offer a part-time and full -time option. We provide leveling courses for students that do not have a business or accounting back-ground. Interterm Session To facilitate the completion of graduation and also to allow exposure to creative learning and to enrich students' academic programs, the University provides an Interterm program in January. A selected array of general education, Bible, electives and graduate courses is offered. Students may enrich their course of study and reduce the overall time to completion or decrease their regular course load by careful selection of Interterm courses. Certain courses or workshops may be offered during Interterm that is not listed in the catalog. Courses may be innovative or the content may be in response to specialized needs or current topics. Opportunities to participate in travel and other non-traditional courses are also offered by various departments through the office of Cross-Cultural Engagement, which organizes Biola Study Tours.
