Hollins University, Virginia's first chartered women's college, has been providing liberal arts education in a small, private college setting since 1842.

Students choose Hollins for many reasons: for an excellent education at an excellent value; for the breadth of knowledge they'll acquire; for the creative spirit they find here; for the opportunity to make lifelong friends; for the chance to get a jump start on a rewarding career through meaningful internships. If you decide that Hollins is the place where you can best be you, we invite you to apply. We look for strengths both in and out of the classroom -- academic performance, class rank, a balanced program of courses, test scores, and academic recommendations. Participation in extracurricular activities, volunteer and work-related experiences, and dedication and promise in the performing arts are also considered in admitting students.
