Piedmont is a classic liberal arts college offering undergraduate degrees in 24 major areas. The college also has a growing graduate school with programs in education and business administration.

The past six years mark one of the most intense periods of growth at Piedmont College in its 106-year history. During this time, the college opened five major new buildings and a second campus in Athens, GA, while more than doubling enrollment to just under 2,000 students.

New academic programs include undergraduate degrees in mass communications, environmental sciences, and interdisciplinary studies. In 2001, Piedmont graduated its first nursing students from the new R.H. Daniel School of Nursing.

At Piedmont, we commit ourselves to the intellectual growth and to the social development of our students. It is our goal that students graduate from Piedmont College with the knowledge and the skills that make for a successful and satisfying life.
