About
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.
