Message from the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. James Mellichamp

In the past decade, Piedmont College has made the leap from a small, four-year college to a comprehensive liberal arts college with thriving undergraduate and graduate programs. Not only has the college increased its enrollment dramatically, it has expanded its service area with the opening of a campus in Athens and graduate cohort courses across northeast Georgia.

Throughout this period of growth, Piedmont has maintained its historical emphasis on providing each student with a strong foundation in the liberal arts. That dedication focuses on increasing all students' ability to reason critically, express their ideas clearly, develop a keen sense of history and develop their ethical, moral and aesthetic senses.
