Special Message

Regent University has been offering classes since 1978 and began distance education in 1989. Today, Regent offers more than 20 degree programs online and is considered a worldwide model for online education. The Regent online Worldwide Campus combines technology and practical application with instant access to learning resources, professors, and other students via the Internet. Designed for busy career professionals, nonresidential students, military personnel, professionals who travel, and stay-at-home parents, the Worldwide Campus is ideal for anyone who needs flexibility in their scheduling. In addition to this distinction, Regent prepares leaders to make a positive impact upon society through degree programs taught from a Judeo-Christian perspective. Regent students typically share these commitments toward faith and values and represent a wide variety of Christian denominations.
