Academic Reputation
U.S. News & World Report ranks Biola as a top-tier national university. Forbes lists Biola as one of “America’s Top Colleges,” schools it deems as “well worth the investment.” And all of Biola’s programs are accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission.

Distinguished Faculty
Our online courses are taught by experienced Christian faculty and feature the same high-quality teaching every on-campus Biola student receives. You’ll learn from professors who care deeply about their fields and their students.
Personalized Guidance
Online doesn’t have to mean impersonal. At Biola, we’re committed to providing you the best online learning environment — including help from real people (we call them “success coaches”) who will help guide you through every step of the process.
Transfer and Veteran Support
Biola’s online bachelor’s programs are an ideal option for transfer students and veterans. We’ll work with you to maximize your transfer credits (up to 70 credits from other institutions) and financial aid, based on your experience and service.
Prepare for Success
Where can your Biola degree take you? Just about anywhere — whether that’s a new career path, a promotion, grad school or a life of greater impact. As a Biola student, you’ll join a community with a strong record of securing good jobs and being admitted to leading graduate programs. Recent studies of Biola alumni indicate that:
-
87%
were employed or admitted to graduate school within six months of graduation (compared to 75% of graduates from all other schools across the Western United States).
-
44%
went on to receive a master's degree or higher within 10 years — almost five times higher than the achievement rate for U.S. adults.
My experience with Biola's Applied Psychology program has been rewarding...I would encourage other adult learners who have been considering going back to school to give it some serious thought, clear out your schedule as much as possible and then go for it. It has been well worth it.
The flexibility of Biola's applied psychology program allowed me to complete my degree while working and doing ministry. I am so grateful for the faculty’s concern of my educational goals and spiritual well-being along the way.
