Robertson School of Government

Champion God’s justice and truth through prayer and service to the nations.

Welcome to Regent University’s School of Government (RSG), where students look first when beginning their educational journeys in political science and government-related graduate programs. Whether you envision yourself working at the White House or Capitol Hill, as a city manager or nonprofit executive director, or in some other form of public service, we will prepare you for a public service career, both in and out of government.

Our mission is to train leaders who strengthen the ethical and moral foundation of Judeo-Christian principles in government and who are called to preserve individual freedom, representative democracy and constitutional government. RSG graduates serve in strategic positions in the White House, Capitol Hill, the Departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security, city councils and state legislatures, NGOs, think tanks, universities, and the military.

With high-quality degree programs, you’ll find the one that fits your career goal and objectives. Select from the M.A. in Government, M.A. in International Development, M.A. in National Security Studies, and Master of Public Administration; plus our newest degree offering, the Ph.D. in Government—designed to train future leaders of thought and action—you’ll be able to select a minor concentration and a major concentration in American Politics, International Relations, Comparative Politics, and Political Analysis.

Are you called to join the ranks of our alumni who are Christian leaders changing the world?
