FOR OVER 105 YEARS, BIOLA HAS STOOD OUT AS AN INSTITUTION GROUNDED ON BIBLICALLY CENTERED EDUCATION, INTENTIONAL SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT, AND CAREER PREPARATION, WHERE ALL FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS ARE PROFESSING CHRISTIANS. WITH MORE THAN 145 ACADEMIC PROGRAMS THROUGH ITS SIX SCHOOLS, BIOLA OFFERS DEGREES RANGING FROM BACHELOR OF ARTS TO DOCTORAL DEGREE. false false 77116557 19907993 93866530 SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES: THE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES IS MORE THAN A COLLECTION OF DEPARTMENTS. OUR GOAL IS TO TEACH THE CONNECTEDNESS OF ALL KNOWLEDGE, HELPING STUDENTS EXPLORE A WIDE RANGE OF DISCIPLINES AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT EACH CAN MAKE TO THE WEB OF 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 A DEGREE, WE HOPE TO AWAKEN THE JOYS OF LEARNING SO THAT LIBERAL ARTS MIGHT BE A LIFELONG PASSION. 37868962 9776046 46094226 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 STATEMENT OF DOCTRINE AND EXPLANATORY NOTES. 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 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 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 EXPOSE THE INNER MEANING 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 OF RELIGION 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. 13268022 3425201 16149881 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 PERS0NS. 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 M0ST 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 A 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 THE CHURCH'S ROLE OF MINISTERING TO THE WHOLE PERSON. STUDENTS DESIGNING TO FOCUS ON 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 IN 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. IN ORDER TO MEET THIS NEED, ROSEMEAD HAS DEVELOPED A SEQUENCE OF EXPERIENCES DESIGNED TO PROMOTE PERSONAL GROWTH AND COMPETENCE IN INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP 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 PER-PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE. THE PER-PRACTICUM COURSE CONSISTS OF EXERCISES TO ASSESS AND FACILITATE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS AND AN THE 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 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. 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. 27162734 7012184 33062572 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: COOK SCHOOL OF INTERCULTURAL STUDIES EXPENSES GRANTS REVENUE 9,118,972 2,354,104 11,099,643 SCHOOL OF EDUCATION EXPENSES GRANTS REVENUE 7,994,837 2,063,904 9,731,342 CROWELL SCHOOL OF BUSINESS EXPENSES GRANTS REVENUE 6,779,133 1,750,064 8,251,583 INTERTERM EXPENSES GRANTS REVENUE 1,564,505 403,884 1,904,320 SUMMER SCHOOL EXPENSES GRANTS REVENUE 1,705,288 4440,228 2,075,682 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.

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. SCHOOL OF EDUCATION THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION SERVES A DIVERSE STUDENT BODY, CONSISTING OF MORE THAN 300 UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS (230 LIBERAL STUDIES MAJORS AND APPROXIMATELY 201 SINGLE SUBJECT MAJORS) AND 145 GRADUATE STUDENTS.

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.
