Hear From Our Students
Amber Sells
M.A., 2008"What distinguishes Regent from other graduate schools is the Christian application to public policy issues. My faith is more complete because I was able to integrate a biblical worldview with domestic and international political issues."
Jennifer Salcido
M.A., 2012"Regent provided valuable internship experiences — from working for a Congressman to work in Iraq with the Kurdish government."
Sonya Mills
MPA, 2018"All the time, when people hear I am studying public administration, they say, ‘Oh, we need more Christian leaders in government!’ It’s a perfect fit for Regent’s mission. And if you’re a Christian, you have something anchoring you to the decisions you make that affect an entire country."
Jonathan Tillman
M.A., 2010"The Robertson School of Government was the perfect fit in obtaining a master's degree while serving active-duty. The online program gave me the flexibility I needed. This track of study will truly prepare and position you at the forefront of a rapidly expanding skillset within the federal government."
