Regent University Reviews

I am a veteran and military spouse, and because we have to relocate every few years, I had to find a University that offered a good online program. After a lot of research, I decided to give Regent University a try. I am now in my third semester with Regent and it has been very rewarding. The entire staff is wonderful! They are helpful, caring, and even check in with me via email or phone call just to make sure there isn't anything that I need. The classes are challenging and to date, every instructor has been amazing. Regent University has a great online program that is not just going to hand you a good grade. You will have to put the time and effort in, but the experience will be rewarding!

So far, my experience with Regent University has been great! I recently received my acceptance letter, so I've only been able to interact with the admissions office and financial aid. Even though I've only been acquainted a short amount of time and with only a few departments, my first impression of them was wonderful! I cannot wait to begin classes and interact with everyone that I can on campus.
I really feel like I received a valuable education from “stellar” professors. As a distant learner I felt really connected with Blackboard and professors making themselves accessible to students like myself. They want you to succeed. I like that the Bible is integrated in every course and the professors challenge the students to think critically about how a biblical worldview can help us impact the world regardless of what our major is - we are “world changers”!
