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 Biola faculty and capable visiting professors. Courses offered cover the areas of art, Bible, theology, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, biological science, sociology and other subjects, including education courses for teaching credential candidates. Graduate courses in education, intercultural studies, theology and psychology enable graduate students to continue their programs during the summer.
Credit is also available in connection with excellent foreign tours conducted during the summer.
See section on financial information for Summer Session tuition. Certain courses or workshops may be offered in the summer 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 Session bulletin. Admission to the summer program does not presuppose or grant acceptance to the University for the regular school year.
