While picturesque views of the North Georgia mountains are one of the best parts of being a Piedmont student, we understand that visiting or attending campus in person may not work for you. That’s why Piedmont offers an expanding selection of online degree program options.
No matter where in the world they call home, our online students enjoy the quintessential Piedmont experience, defined by small class sizes and personalized attention from faculty. In this environment, students make meaningful connections with themselves, their coursework, and one another — all from the convenience of home.
To ensure the best experience for our online students, online programs are restricted to non-residential Piedmont students.
Online programs are restricted to non-residential students only.
