Cook School of Intercultural Studies Applied Linguistics & TESOL Program Handbooks BIBLE/THEOLOGY REQUIREMENT SECTION 3.9 BIBLE/THEOLOGY REQUIREMENT All graduate students at Biola are expected to have at least six units of Bible/Theology in their programs as well as additional opportunities to integrate biblical knowledge and application with their specialties through their regular coursework. In the ALT graduate programs, three units are considered foundational, that is, they can be done before entering the program, and three are part of the program. Pre-program foundational units can be done at either the grad or undergrad level. Program units must be at the grad level. (If you have not met foundational requirements before entering the program, those units must be done at the grad level too.) Foundational Course in Bible/Theology Students who don’t have a background in Bible or theology are urged to choose from the following courses: TTBE517 Hermeneutics and Bible Study Methods TTBE 519 Survey of Genesis to Malachi TTBE 520 Survey of Matthew to Revelation Elective Course in Bible/Theology Talbot, in conjunction with the Education Department, offers a special three-unit section of TTBE 732 “Life of Christ” which is appropriate for TESOL students. Be sure to contact the department Chair before registering for the course. The ALT department will then forward your name to the School of Education to get the registration bar removed. "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement," taken for credit at the graduate level, counts for either the foundational or program units. For more information on where and when this class is offered, see http://www.perspectives.org/ Students who have already taken these or similar courses may take any Talbot Bible or theology course from the “Biblical Exposition” (TTBE) or “Systematic Theology” (TTTH) sets of courses. For courses outside these areas, permission must be granted. Transferring Your Bible/Theology Courses You may also take your Bible/Theology courses at an accredited theological seminary and have the credits transferred to Biola University. To get the courses transferred, be sure to have the transcript mailed to the Registrar’s Office. Also, submit a substitution request form to the department chair for approval. You may download the substitution request form at http://www.biola.edu/registrar/forms/. Date: August 2012 Page 1 of 1
Cook School of Intercultural Studies Applied Linguistics & TESOL Program Handbooks SUCCESS IN GRADUATE SCHOOL SECTION 3.10 ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND SUCCESS IN GRADUATE SCHOOL • You are expected to do your own work. (See Section 2.9 on Academic Integrity.) • You are expected to complete your work on time. Follow your instructor’s guidelines for due dates in the course syllabus. Expect that your grade will be lowered or your assignment will not be accepted if it is late. • You are expected to come to class and expected to be on time. Class sessions are an important part of your learning and cannot be replaced by simply doing the reading or asking a classmate for notes. Arriving on time (even on days when assignments are due) shows respect for your instructor and classmates. Some instructors build class participation into their grading criteria. • You are expected to communicate with your instructor in a timely way if you are having any trouble with the class. Call in advance if you must miss class. Consult with the instructor in advance if you don’t understand an assignment or are having difficulty with anything related to the class. • You are expected to be proactive in getting help if you need it. Take the initiative to take care of yourself and do what you need to do to succeed in graduate school.
