About Regent University
Regent University is the nation's academic center for Christian thought and action, with a multitude of on-campus and online programs available worldwide. Our academic standards for both our graduate and undergraduate programs are high and our programs rigorous. But what sets Regent apart is our mission to prepare capable men and women to excel both in mind and spirit. Our students, faculty and administrators share a calling, founded on biblical principles, to make a significant difference in our communities, our cities, our nation and our world.
Leadership & Influence
When Dr. M.G. “Pat” Robertson, Regent president and chancellor, established the university in 1978, he envisioned a high-caliber institution that would attract a leadership team brimming with superior professional experience and extraordinary academic credentials. In just three decades, that vision is being fulfilled. Distinguished faculty and guest lecturers include John Ashcroft, former U.S. Attorney General; Vern Clark, former Chief of Naval Operations; Steve Forbes, president and CEO of Forbes, Inc. and others.
Regent also exposes students to speakers who are front and center on some of the most important issues of our time. Nationally covered events such as Clash of the Titans®, The Ronald Reagan Symposium and Executive Leadership Series, allow students and the greater community to learn firsthand from major world and national leaders about today's most pressing issues.
The combination of committed leaders and diligent students has produced alumni who occupy strategic positions in a multitude of venues worldwide. They take seriously their call to lead and serve others and excel in their professions, which include Virginia Attorney General, Louisiana State Senator, National Middle School Principal of the Year, Hollywood screenwriters, National Milken Educator Award Winner and Assistant Secretary of Labor.
Shaping the Future
The 21st century offers an opportunity unparalleled in human history. A new generation of highly skilled leaders is impacting the global landscape. As we continue to nurture a vibrant academic community fully engaged in excellence, integrity and innovation in every sphere, Regent University stands ready to equip and empower Christian leaders who will change the world.
