Perimeter College Online is the largest online service in the University System of Georgia. The College offers most core courses online, while specific guided pathways, such as Business Administration and Criminal Justice, also can be completed online. Students can elect to take a combination of online and on-campus courses to fit their degree and schedule needs. Because a limited number of guided pathways are provided completely online, most students elect to take a combination of online and on-campus courses. Online courses include accounting, computer science, education, English, math, Spanish and many more. Review Perimeter College’s schedule of classes in our catalog.
