What is Biola mean?
Biola: Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Biola was originally
founded in LA on Sixth and Hope streets in 1908. In 1949, the Bible
Institute was renamed Biola College. In 1959, Biola College moved
to La Mirada, CA. In July of 1981, Biola College became Biola
University. Biola is a private Christian University, with an
undergrad count being around 5,000. As a Biola undergraduate
student, you are required to take 30 units of Bible classes (which
is 10 classes). With those 30 credits, every Biola graduate will
graduate with a Bible Studies minor. Affectionately, Biola's
students also call Biola the Bridal Institute of Los Angeles, as
the women are stereotyped to be looking for their husband. Hope
this helps a little! ~A Biola University Student
