Admissions Process
The Biola admissions process usually begins the fall or winter of a student's senior year in high school, when an application is submitted. Depending on the application deadline for which a student has applied, they will usually be notified of admittance in the winter or spring of the senior year.

"Textbooks and lectures are all fine, but without God as the center of our education, what does all of the book knowledge ultimately add up to?
"I now understand that integrating our studies with the teachings of the Bible is essential to have full understanding of our purpose in the world."
