| Mission | |
| School mission | Regent University's mission is to provide exemplary education, from a biblical perspective, leading to bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees for aspiring servant-leaders in pivotal professions, and to be a leading center of Christian thought and action. Regent University provides an outstanding undergraduate education with a distinctly Christian focus. Classes are geared for working adults and meet at convenient times. Class sizes are kept small so as to enhance interaction between faculty and students. It's more than a description of Regent University, it's a way of life. As America's premier graduate school dedicated to combining quality education with biblical teachings, Regent continues to produce Christian leaders who will make a difference, who will change the world. Just a glance at the world class institution makes a lasting impression. Regent has more than 4,000 students in eight academic schools, a main campus and distance education reaching around the globe. From the gleaming beauty and technological sophistication of its facilities to the accomplishments of students and graduates, there's much to be proud of at Regent. The 31,000-square-foot Student Center on Regent's Virginia Beach Campus, opened in 2003, offers a central location for campus and student services. The building houses the University Bookstore, student organizations and meeting rooms, a cafe/coffee shop, computer lab, student lounge and offices for the Registrar, Admissions and Financial Aid. The 135,000-square-foot Communication & Performing Arts Center, opened in 2002, includes film and animation studios, a state-of-the-art main theatre, screening rooms and editing suites in one of the most technologically advanced communication buildings on the East Coast. More than a collection of buildings, Regent produces students who excel in their fields. Recent student accomplishments include the School of Law's victory in the Best Brief in the Nation competition (out of 151 teams) at the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition and the Students in Free Enterprise team's regional SIFE championship in competition against 30 other colleges and universities. The Regent Moot Court Team also claimed a title, becoming the first school in Virginia since 1988 to win the prestigious William B. Spong Jr. Moot Court Tournament at the College of William & Mary. Regent offers bachelors, masters and doctoral degree programs that are devoted to educating individuals for servant leadership. Regent is dedicated to the growth and development of others and recognizes that servant leadership creates the opportunity to have a just and caring society. Milestone after milestone, Regent continues to mark new territories in Christian education. Divine inspiration has been steadfastly guiding it since its inception in 1978. Regent went from 77 graduates in 1979 to making a worldwide impact in 2008 with a student body exceeding 4,000. Regent University remains committed to making a mark on history by developing Christian leaders that will change the world. |
