Hear From Our Students
Ryan Clemens
MFA, 2010"We were taught practical skills for the workplace in Regent's classroom. Now I can see how they work in a professional environment."
Bruce Long
M.A. in Cinema/ TV Acting & Directing, 2001"When I came to Regent, life had kind of clipped my wings. In hindsight, I see that Regent wasn’t so much a restoration project, but rather a new-construction project."
Jada Collins Jackson
B.A. in Communication 2009; MA in Human Services Counseling 2010"At Regent, I loved the integration of Christian values that were wrapped tightly in a strong academic degree. I felt completely academically prepared to go out and help people, but I also had that very foundational core belief system that was strengthened unbelievably."
