Piedmont offers both residential and online programs ranging from dual enrollment, undergraduate, and graduate degrees. It is accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools[3] and maintains membership in the American Association of Christian Colleges and Seminaries.[4] HistoryIn 1945, Charles Stevens and a group of North Carolina Baptist leaders founded Piedmont Bible Schools, Inc. and opened Piedmont Bible Institute. Three years later, the institute added two years of junior college. Although the academy associated with Piedmont Bible Schools, Inc. was discontinued in 1952, the Bible institute and the college continued. In 1956 Piedmont completed the accreditation requirements of the Accrediting Association of Bible Institutes and Bible Colleges (now The Association for Biblical Higher Education). Their acceptance allowed Religious Education and Theology bachelor's degrees to be awarded, starting in 1957, with the acceptance of the State Department of Education. The college added a graduate program in 1994 and joined the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) one year later. In 2004, the college merged with Spurgeon Baptist Bible College of Mulberry, Florida, to create Piedmont’s Spurgeon School of Online Education.[5] With this merge came several undergraduate and graduate programs available online in their entirety including a master's degree in Biblical Studies offered online in Spanish. The accreditation of two international branch campuses in restricted access nations sprang from partnerships with nationals in Asia and the Middle East. A 2008 merger with Atlantic Baptist Bible College of Chester, Virginia, led to the establishment of the Atlantic Scholarship for Ministry Training.[6] Foothills Christian College also merged with then Piedmont Baptist College and Graduate Schools in 2010.{{cn|date=December 2018}} In 2012 Piedmont officially changed their name from Piedmont Baptist College and Graduate Schools to Piedmont International University.[7] In the mid 2010s, two institutions were merged into Piedmont. In 2015, Tennessee Temple University of Chattanooga, Tennessee, dissolved and merged with Piedmont.[8] Three years later, John Wesley University, a small evangelical college (approximately 150 students enrolled) renowned for its nursing and business degree programs, and located in High Point, North Carolina approximately 19 miles from Piedmont's Winston-Salem campuses, merged with Piedmont.[9] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.piedmontu.edu/2016-website/piu-leadership|title=PIU Leadership|publisher=Piedmont International University|accessdate=2016-10-21}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.piedmontu.edu/2016-website/fast-facts|title=Fast Facts|publisher=Piedmont International University|accessdate=2016-10-21}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tracs.org/ |title=Transnational Association Of Christian Colleges and Schools |publisher=Tracs.org |date= |accessdate=2012-02-19}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.aaccs.info/ |title=American Association of Christian Colleges and Seminaries |publisher=Aaccs.info |date= |accessdate=2012-02-19}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pbc.edu/Page.aspx?pid=363 |title=Online Education - Piedmont International University |publisher=Pbc.edu |date= |accessdate=2012-02-19}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www2.journalnow.com/news/2008/dec/11/piedmont-atlantic-colleges-to-merge-this-year-ar-133178/ |title=Piedmont, Atlantic colleges to merge this year |publisher=JournalNow.com |date= |accessdate=2012-02-19}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pbc.edu/page.aspx?pid=802 |title=Piedmont International University - Piedmont International University |publisher=Pbc.edu |date=2012-01-01 |accessdate=2012-02-19}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.chattanoogan.com/2015/3/2/295186/Tennessee-Temple-University-To-Close.aspx|title=Tennessee Temple University To Close After Almost 70 Years|work=The Chattanoogan|date=2015-03-02|accessdate=2015-03-04}} 9. ^John Wesley Merging Into Piedmont International - Inside Higher Ed External links
