Piedmont
Technical College is essentially an "open
door" institution serving the educational
needs of all who apply for admission. This
does not mean, however, that there are no
entrance requirements. Certain programs of
study make various prerequisites a necessity.
Still, these
requirements are enforced not to keep students
out, but to help ensure success in their chosen
fields. Even though applicants for
admission may not meet the requirements for
entering a particular program, Piedmont has the
ability, through transitional studies, to help
them to attain their goals.
