Piedmont graduates are preferred.
Piedmont University's College of Nursing and Health Sciences programs have a reputation for being rigorous. Employers prefer Piedmont graduates for that very reason. Our nursing and health science professionals are highly sought after and command impressive salaries. Piedmont's nursing program is consistently ranked among the top 10 in Georgia.
An annual Disaster Drill held each spring with the involvement of local and state police, fire, emergency management agencies, and search and rescue teams is a Piedmont tradition.
In addition to six undergraduate majors, the College of Nursing and Health Sciences also offers students an opportunity to earn a master's degree in five years with the 3 + 2 athletic training program. These students graduate with a bachelor of science in Exercise and Sport Science or Applied Health Sciences and a master's degree in Athletic Training.

Our Programs
Undergraduate
The College of Nursing & Health Sciences offers six undergraduate majors, two minors, and a certificate.
Graduate Degrees
Our multifaceted, cross-disciplinary programs engage students from different undergraduate backgrounds in the common mission of improving client experiences and outcomes. Students work with a faculty mentor in their area of study and are encouraged to use their thesis project and community partner internships to discover their professional passion.
Preparing for the future.
Students in the Athletic Training and Speech-Language Pathology programs complete focused internships and/or immersive clinical experiences, as they work with a community partner to hone their professional skills. This ability to translate classroom knowledge into real-world actions in a supportive environment builds both competence and confidence for future independent practice.
Application Information
Admission to both graduate programs is rolling, with preference given to those submitted by mid-January. Coursework begins in the second summer session of the application year.
Graduate Tuition Comparison
For colleges and universities in Georgia that offer graduate degree programs in Athletic Training and Health & Human Performance, Piedmont — a private college — provides the greatest value for out-of-state students.
