The university provides an excellent education taught from a Biblical perspective and global context in pivotal professions to equip Christian leaders to change the world. Located in Virginia Beach, Va., Regent offers associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs that are devoted to educating individuals for servant leadership.

Young America's Foundation (YAF) recently ranked Regent as a "Top Conservative College" for 2011-2012. The list places Regent as one of 15 leading institutions that strengthen the conservative values of its students through its mission and programs.

Such signature events as the annual Reagan Symposium presented by the School of Government draw noted Reagan scholars to the campus to discuss topics such as the future of American culture before large audiences ranging in age from teens to seniors.

Regent University consistently delivers excellent, Biblically-grounded graduate and undergraduate programs both online and on campus. As an institution committed to ever-increasing excellence, we will continue to prepare Christian leaders for lives of significant purpose and service as we move to an even higher level of academic quality and global influence.
