How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Biola University admits about 74.4% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,160 and 1,370, and ACT scores typically fall between 24 and 29. Among enrolled undergraduates, 26.0% receive Pell Grants and 23.6% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is limited, at 25.4%. Azimuth ranks Biola University #810 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the institution's enrollment scale: Biola University enrolls a modest share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students relative to institutions with broader admission policies. The six-year graduation rate is 67.6%, with 68.8% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. Azimuth ranks Biola University #833 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn a median of $40,900 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 44.3 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The low-income cohort is relatively small at Biola University — 26.0% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants — so the median reflects outcomes for a narrower group of students rather than a population-wide pattern. For low-income students who enroll and complete, outcomes demonstrate meaningful financial progress, though the institution's selective admission scale limits how many students from low-income backgrounds benefit from that pathway.
