Our Colleges
World Class Educators Focused on You
Piedmont University offers a wide range of degree programs and career pathways, and each is housed within one of four colleges – each guided by a dean whose driving focus is to create an atmosphere of learning, growth, and success for faculty and students. We believe the results speak for themselves. Piedmont excels at producing students with both the knowledge necessary to succeed in their chosen field, but also a practical understanding of how to put that knowledge to use.
As Piedmont has expanded through the years, we have taken great care to create colleges that change to meet the needs of the moment – while also maintaining a commitment to a traditional liberal arts education. That means our students learn to think critically, so that they are best prepared for whatever life may hold after graduation. And while our four colleges have very different focuses, they each work to provide you with a meaningful and lasting education.
