“Making the switch from community college to Regent was a flawless process and the best decision ever. I’m so proud I have ‘Regent graduate’ connected to my story.”

Hanna Bishop, B.A., 2015 Christian Ministry

“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

“Regent gave me the tools and confidence to integrate my faith in my community and career. I was able to develop my potential and am now fulfilling my purpose as a business leader.”

Scott Berry, 2009

“Regent gave me the skills I needed and prepared me for the work I’m doing now.”

Stryker Watts, 2013

“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
