Piedmont is a Congregational liberal arts college offering instruction in a scholarly, tradition-rich environment. The college was founded in 1897 and has been affiliated with the Congregational Christian Churches since 1901. Fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges, Piedmont offers bachelor of arts and science degrees in 24 areas. The college also awards Master of Arts degrees in early childhood education, secondary education and public administration.

The college aspires to be one of the best small liberal arts colleges in the southeast for the "whole person." The 1,600 students at Piedmont, who represent more than fifteen states and seven foreign countries, bring a diversity of backgrounds and beliefs to the college.

In anticipation of its second century, the college is implementing a building plan that will help it meet its needs for years beyond. The 38,000 square-foot library is part of that plan and contains more than 100,000 volumes with electronic indexing and two modern computer labs. Also new on campus is the Martens Botanical Center and a fourth dormitory. Construction is now underway for the R. Hugh Daniel School of Nursing and for a new athletic center. Construction of a new math, science and technology center is expected to begin in mid-1999.

The cost of attending Piedmont College is well below the cost of other private, four-year colleges. This is made possible by endowments and gifts to the college. Many of them have been given by churches and individuals from the National Association. Generous support is also received from alumni and friends of the college. There are a number of scholarships possible. Special scholarships are available to any student from a church affiliated with the NACCC. The "Supporting Church Scholarship" is a renewable, four-year scholarship available to any student from a NACCC member church.

I want to make a contribution to the work of this school!
