Two regular terms of physical education course work are required for graduation. One term should be taken in the first year with the encouragement of completing the requirement by the end of the sophomore year. No more than one activity course or varsity team sport in a single term may be taken in fulfillment of this requirement. No more than one activity at the 100 level or 300 level may be counted toward satisfying the requirement. A 200-level course may not be repeated for credit. To satisfy a term of the physical education requirement, all work must be completed within the term. These courses carry no academic credit and are graded on a pass/fail basis. All courses are offered to first-year students as well as the Hollins community.
With respect to the needs of individual students, maximum practical flexibility is applied. However, it is rare that a student is excused from completing the physical education requirement. The aims of this department are to foster understanding of healthful living and to help students develop physical skills which can be useful throughout life. Special fees are charged for some courses.

The Hollins Outdoor Leadership Certificate (HOLC)
The Hollins Outdoor Leadership Certificate is designed for women at Hollins who are interested in outdoor leadership. The goal of the program is to provide training for women leaders in adventure recreation. The certification process includes components of the Wilderness Education Association’s National Standards Program, Leave No Trace trainer certification, Wilderness First Aid, leadership hours completed with the Hollins Outdoor Program (HOP) and course work. This is a two-year process when each woman will have the capability to learn and develop her decision making, technical skills, and personal outlook through hands-on experience. Each woman who completes the HOLC program will graduate with at least two nationally recognized certifications and necessary experience if she wishes to pursue an education or career in outdoor leadership.
Wilderness Education Association’s Wilderness Steward Program in Baja California, Mexico
Through our affiliation with the Wilderness Education Association (WEA), Hollins offers a Wilderness Steward Program (WSP) in Baja California, Mexico, during the annual January Short Term. This is a 15-day course when participants have the opportunity to whale watch, hike in canyons, see cave murals that are thousands of years old, and sea kayak in the Bay of Los Angeles in the Gulf of California. The course follows the WEA’s 18-point curriculum, which consists of leadership development, technical skill training, teaching opportunities, and environmental and cultural awareness education with the overarching goal of training outdoor leaders.
