[Laboratory numbers reflect the course number + L]

The major in chemistry and the major in chemistry with a biochemistry concentration have the following core requirements: CHEM 102 (or CHEM 105), CHEM 214, CHEM 221, CHEM 222, CHEM 241, CHEM 331, the corresponding laboratory courses, and CHEM 480: Senior Research. A student wishing the chemistry track is required to take CHEM 244, CHEM 332, and their associated laboratory courses. A student wishing chemistry with a biochemistry concentration is required to take CHEM 351, CHEM 352, and their associated laboratory courses. Courses selected from among BIOL 220, BIOL 236, and BIOL 312 are strongly recommended for the biochemistry concentration. For both tracks, the senior Short Term is usually carried out in chemistry, biochemistry, or a closely related field. Students must write and defend a report (thesis), which is based upon research carried out in the senior year (this must be completed before the end of April); furthermore, each student must make a research presentation at the Hollins University Science Seminar or at another meeting sponsored by a professional society in chemistry. Statistics and computer science are recommended. Students should note that calculus and calculus-based physics are required for physical chemistry. Prerequisites for any course may be satisfied by examination.
