Piedmont Graduates Are Preferred
Considering what’s at stake, trust is perhaps the most important aspect of health care. And when you graduate from Piedmont University’s College of Nursing & Health Sciences, it shows that you are not only highly educated and motivated, but you are also one of the most trustworthy candidates available. That’s because our College of Nursing & Health Sciences programs have a reputation for being rigorous, experiential, and comprehensive—which means that employers prefer Piedmont graduates.
Piedmont nursing and health science professionals are highly sought after and command impressive salaries. In fact, Piedmont’s nursing program is consistently ranked among the top 10 in Georgia. That’s because we go above and beyond in our training methods – such as our annual “disaster drill” held in conjunction with local and state police, fire, emergency management agencies, and search and rescue teams. In addition to seven undergraduate majors, the College also offers students an opportunity to earn a master’s degree in five years with its 3-plus-2 programs in Athletic Training and Speech-Language Pathology. If you’re considering a career in health care, know that Piedmont offers the training—and trust—that will help you to a rewarding and successful career.
