Accreditation

Piedmont University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, specialist, and doctorate degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Piedmont University, to file third- party comments, or to file a complaint against the institution for alleged non-compliance. Normal inquiries about the institution, such as, admission requirements, financial aid, or educational programs should be addressed to the University and not to the Commission.

All teacher education programs offered by Piedmont University, as they appear in its published catalog, have the approval of the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Authority to recommend for certification rests with the Dean of the College of Education.

The Walker College of Business received national accreditation in November 2007 from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) for undergraduate and graduate business programs.
