Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry

Bachelor of Arts
Randolph College

Through lectures, laboratory work, research, and seminars, the program of the Department of Chemistry provides students with a basic knowledge and conceptual understanding of matter: its structure and properties and the nature, energetics, and dynamics of its transformations. The Department maintains small lecture and laboratory sections to ensure that students have extensive access to its faculty, facilities and instrumentation. Qualified majors have the opportunity of serving as laboratory assistants and tutors. The Department encourages and aids in the placement of students into Summer research programs, which can, with permission from the Department, be used to partially fulfill the requirements for the senior program.

Considerations When Selecting Courses

Additional courses required as prerequisites for courses for the chemistry major include MATH 1149 and 1150 and PHYS 1115-1115L, 1116-1116L, or their equivalents.

  • Create a schedule for all required courses, pay attention to prerequisites and when courses are offered, complete your first math and English courses in your first year
  • Connect with an advisor at your community college and Randolph College within your first year via College Connect
Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses Transfer students must complete the equivalent of the normal junior and senior year credit hour requirement in chemistry (a minimum of 15-21 hours) in residence at Randolph College.
Doing More With Your Degree The Department maintains small lecture and laboratory sections to ensure that students have extensive access to its faculty, facilities and instrumentation. Qualified majors have the opportunity of serving as laboratory assistants and tutors. The Department encourages and aids in the placement of students into Summer research programs, which can, with permission from the Department, be used to partially fulfill the requirements for the senior program.
Program Successes & Highlights Chemistry majors have completed special programs in forensic science with the Charlottesville Police Department; pharmacy at Lynchburg General Hospital; sanitation in the Hampton Roads Sanitation District; analytical chemistry at Fleet labs and Abbott labs, scribing at the Lynchburg Free Clinic, working with the Department of Environmental Quality, and working in the College’s Natural History Collection.

    Tuition & Fee Notes:
    • Audit Fee Per Credit
      • $175 with prior permission of instructor, a special, part-time, non-degree, non-resident student may audit courses, with the exception of courses in art studio, music performance lessons, physical education activity courses, and science courses with required laboratory.
    • Summer Online Undergraduate Course Fee

    • Technology Fee
      • $520 Annual fee for residential, commuter and online students. One time only.
    • Graduation Fee
      • All graduates (both bachelors and masters) are charged a graduation fee of $200 in the term in which they are scheduled to graduate. The fee is used to partially offset costs associated with Commencement, including the graduation robe, cap, and tassel, printing of diplomas and programs, speaker travel and accommodations, etc. One time only.
    • Student Accident Insurance
      • All full-time Randolph College students are covered by an Individual Student Accident Policy. This policy assures that if a student is injured during the academic year, there is up to a $5,000 accidental medical benefit in place. The mandatory plan is a nominal charge of $61 per semester charged to the student's tuition account. Since unforeseen illnesses and accidents do happen, Randolph College is working to facilitate a student's academic success by not having to worry about unforeseen medical bills due to lack of coverage.
    • Student Medical Costs
      • The services of the College nurse practitioner, nurses, and counselors, and the use of the Health and Counseling Center are provided to residential students without additional cost. Non-residential, full-time students are charged a mandatory, nonrefundable fee of $50 per semester for Health Center and Counseling Center services. Patients are expected to pay for medications, laboratory work and, if additional medical attention is desired, for such fees as those of the hospitals, urgent care centers, surgeons, special nurses, and/or consulting physicians.
    Other Financial Aid to Pay for College:
    • You may be eligible for additional financial aid from Federal, State, and Local sources. Military education benefits are not considered in determining eligibility for federal financial aid. Everyone is therefore encouraged to apply for federal financial aid by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), because many will qualify for additional educational funds like Pell Grants, worth over $5,500/yr.
