REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingWith seven different schools, stretching from psychology and law to theater and cinema production (offered at both grad and undergrad levels), Regent University is the place to be if you are a blossoming Christian leader. The learning environment within each school varies from the others. I am enrolled in the Comm. Arts school where the learning environment is highly nurturing to the independent learner. If you are hungry for experience and thirsty for knowledge, the Comm. Arts programs will definitely give back what you put into it.
Lauren from Senoia, GA
I am learning so much at Regent. The teachers and the advisers are wonderful and they are always praying for their students success!!
Lolita from Leavenworth, KS
This school is wonderful in that they don't just spout information at you - they force you to think. Once you attend, you will no longer be able to take anything you here for granted, you will question and consider before taking something as a fact. You will analyze the comments of the carefully chosen experts on news stations and be able to distinguish for yourself whether or not they are giving a professional, factual opinion or a biased one. The fact that the current governor of Virginia (Governor Bob McDonnell) graduated from Regent's Law School says no small thing about the quality of education there.
Emily from Mechanicsville, VA
Regent University is an incredible university with a genuine faith filled atmosphere. The school's motto is Christian leadership to change the world. Come here to grow.
Austin
I am learning a lot in terms of my intended major and in the honing of my academic writing and communicative skills. I couldn't ask for anything more!
Kristen A. from Florida
The professors at Regent are wonderful. They take the time to help you when you need it and are readily available. The professors care about your academic life as well as your spiritual life. If you are lucky you will receive a professor who has such a love for their subject that you will end up loving it as well. Very well rounded education for Christian leaders who will be sent out to change the world!
Leila from Virginia Beach, VA
Two important factors in my choosing Regent were convenience and Christian atmosphere and my first semester here has been better than I imagined. The Christian atmosphere is great with friendly students and professors (and other staff!). Regent has been a setting for my growth in faith this past semester (through in/out of class discussions, friendships, and other experiences) and of course academic study.
David from Virginia Beach, VA
Regent University has a fantastic online degree program whereby non-traditional students can obtain a degree without ever having to set foot on campus. The online program is a US News and World Reports top 100 and provides challenging courses and coursework to all students. Additionally, Regent has lowered their tuition in order to make higher education more affordable for everyone.
Stephanie from Richmond, VA
Regent University has displayed professionalism throughout the application process and during my first year of school. The university not only teaches excellence, it practices it through it's staff and faculty. Regent sets a standard for others to follow.
Catherine from Virginia Beach, VA
