Hear From Our Students
Bill Dudley
MPA, 2014"What stuck out to me at Regent was the character and ethics — the commitment to glorifying God in all that we do. I am grateful to be part of a place impacting this world for eternity. By getting past our fallibilities, we can see what the power of God can do."
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."
Jennifer Salcido
M.A., 2012"Regent provided valuable internship experiences — from working for a Congressman to work in Iraq with the Kurdish government."
