Regent University Online Rankings by Salary Score™

Don’t go to this school. You’ll def regret it. And by the time you do you’ll be so far in that transferring would be difficult. They lie from the beginning about how soon you’d graduate. They don’t help you take courses that are geared to your path and what you want to be and do just what brings them money.. They lie about the scholarships and the availability of them. The disability department doesn’t help. And don’t let them know your experiencing homelessness/disaster of any kind and need extra help, time,... Read More assistance. because trust me they don’t care at all. As a Christian based school you’d expect a lot of from them in the area of Nobleness and values, and character. They don’t have none of it. I wish I never went to this school, but it’s too late. It’s cheaper but not better. Think twice….

I transferred to Regent after receiving my Associate's from Tidewater Community College. I normally don't write reviews, but I had to write this one after reading the other reviews. After I retired from the military I went to work overseas as a security and training contractor. I was gone so much and so often that my only option was to take classes online. There were a couple of classes in my degree field (Government/Pre-Law) that were offered on campus only, which caused me to skip a couple of deployments,... Read More which cost me a LOT of money - in no way do I blame Regent for this situation. I opted for the accelerated program where the semesters were 8 weeks instead of 16 weeks. The work was rigorous and challenging. I must say that one of the things I learned was how to manage my time and how to prepare for my classes so I could complete the reading and writing assignments on time. When I was overseas there were times when there were internet outages that caused me to be late for submissions; my professors were understanding and accommodated me. When the time came for my Senior Thesis (a 25-page paper), I was deployed overseas and there was no way I could come to the college. My professor had me open a Youtube channel and send her the link in Private setting, and record myself discussing my paper! And then when I was only a class or two from graduating, I had to take a class that was offered EVERY OTHER YEAR, and when I had to take it, it was the off year - and I was deployed overseas. I wrote to the Department Chair and explained that I would have to wait a whole year to take the class and graduate, was there anything that can be done? He opened a special 'audit' session just for me and a couple of other students for which we could get credit! The military advisors: My only experience with them is in-person. I would call and make an appointment, show up, and get the information I needed. They gave me their cards to call their direct number, and with a couple of exceptions when they were out of the office, they were either available to help me or returned my calls promptly. NO, Regent University is not "praise Jesus all day every day in every class." Regent University is a Christian-based university that requires a Biblically-oriented take on classes, with Scriptural references. The Biblical thing was disclosed up front and very clearly, so that's what I did. I included Biblical verses in my written posts and papers, and discussed how they applied to my assignment. I interacted with plenty of classmates who did not, but I don't know whether they were penalized or not. If somebody doesn't agree with being required to include Biblical stuff in their work, then don't include it and accept the possible academic hit, or pick another school. After I graduated I enrolled in the Career Switcher program for teacher preparation. Professor Whiting was absolutely the best in accommodating my overseas schedule and managing the program. The one thing that I DID NOT like about Regent is that when I registered for my first two classes nobody informed me that classes opened a week before the actual advertised start date. I checked two weeks early, nothing. 10 days early, nothing. So, I waited until the night before to check in, and !voila! assignments were posted 7 days out from the beginning! I was already a week behind in my reading and writing assignments, and there was no way I could catch up. By the middle of the first week, all the reading and most of the posts should already be completed, and reading for the second week's assignments should be well underway. I got a 'D' in Modern Political Philosophy - which is an automatic re-take - and... AND, the GI Bill clawed their money back, and I had to pay for the re-take out of my own pocket - and I got a VERY generous 'C' in Research Methods. Professor Chup in the Philosophy class actually called me up. He kept me on the phone for about 30 minutes trying his best to engage me on the subject matter so he could give me a passing grade, but I was not up to it. My GPA was shot to hell right out of the gate. I had to make an appearance to my academic advisor. As I explained the problem he sat up straight in his chair and took notes. Then I assured him it would not happen again. I squared myself away and got organized, and graduated with a 3.66 GPA.
