Niche
While Biola University serves as an incredible place to learn at a high academic level, even more incredible than that, the university seeks to grow my character and my love for God and His Word. The things that I am learning today will impact me for the rest of my life.
I value most how all of the things we study, we do it within the context of glorifying God, preparing us all to go out into the world and into our careers with godly intentions.
Theatre, B.A.
I value Biola because of the incredible amount of resources here. Biola is set up like a greenhouse so that we can grow and dig our roots down deep to be sent out into the world as ambassadors for Christ.
Art, B.F.A.
Biola has surrounded me with thinkers and friends that enrich my life deeply. I'm so thankful for the mentorship and community I have here.
