“Regent's online, eight-week programs will help you take responsibility and have a way to be self-taught. You'll not only have that initiative, but you'll be able to interact with your professors online. It was really good for me.”

Taniki Richard, B.S., 2015

“Regent prepared me for steps I needed to take to start a business, as well as to lead one.”

Hunter Davis, J.D., 2013

“I knew Regent was a Christian university, but I wasn’t expecting the love of Christ to be so evident.”

Jonatas DaSilva, B.A., 2015 Cinema/TV

“When I think about Regent, I think about the wonderful people I've met here that have supported and loved me with the love of Christ, and that have helped me make this a home away from my home in Guatemala.”

Elisa Sosa, B.A., 2019 Animation

“At Regent, we were encouraged in whatever we were studying and writing to tie into who we are as Christians and incorporate that extra layer. We were taught to do all things with excellence — and that should never be compromised.”

Debbie Holloway, B.A. in English, 2012 English
