Regent University Online Rankings by Salary Score

Choosing to attend Regent University was one of the best decisions of my life! The close-knit Christ-centered community on campus is like nothing I've ever experienced. Regent is small enough that it's easy to get to know almost everyone on campus. The students and faculty here are far nicer and more personable than anywhere else I've been before. I also really appreciate that all the classes are taught from a Bible Worldview. Regent is one of the only colleges in America that is solidly conservative (both... Read More theologically and politically) and yet not overly legalistic or political. Regent is also far less strict than most other conservative Christian Colleges. However, the vast majority of students at Regent are genuine Christians and it is evident in the way they act. There are (surprisingly) very few students that regularly use drugs, alcohol or even profanity. It is obvious that almost everyone at Regent chose to go there because they wanted a Christ-centered education. They are also extremely affordable and super generous with scholarships. I was able to get almost a full ride because of my SAT score (which was only 1250) and because I was accepted into the honors program. If you are a Christain who wants to learn in a Christ-centered environment surrounded by other like-minded students without getting in a lot of debt, I would highly recommend looking into Regent.

I'll start this review by explaining that I am Active Duty military and all of my classes my be approved in AFVEC and funded by tuition assistance through the base education office. Regent University is not my first school, I completed three years of consistent, online education and had none of the issues that I am about to blame on Regent. Avoid this school at all costs if you are Active Duty military I have been active duty for 19 years. I have pursued higher education via online college since 2017. I changed... Read More degree paths and schools to Regent university in Feb/March 2022 (theological and Biblical studies).My previous online university did not once give me an issue over a span of five years. I cannot explain the amount of stress that Regent puts on a person that is active duty, there is nothing simple about being active duty and getting classes approved and paid for at Regent. 1st - Regent only has two military advisors....at all. Most recently, I sent multiple emails and I spent more than 4 hours on hold attempting to get in touch with anyone to help me with billing and registration issues. Finally I called the general support number and told them about my experience and they assured me that they had sent the military advising dept. an email and that they would call me at specified time, I never received a call or a response to the emails; I did however receive an email from Regent stating they are dropping me from classes for failure to pay; pay for classes I haven't even taken. More explanation in the next point. 2nd - Regent expects you to pay $1400 a quarter to be an online student, even if you don't take any classes. They sent me the email I referenced above; the email states that I haven't paid my $1,400 a semester so they are dropping me...I haven't been able to register for a class due to Regent's inability to keep up with their students and their failure to reach back out to me. Tuition assistance does not pay by semester but by class. Every single tuition assistance request I sent to Regent I also had to send them proof that I am still active duty. Tuition assistance does not cover the cost of one class at Regent. I owe money for each class that I take and I must pay out of pocket. They say that you get book vouchers to make up for this, but, the online book store marks up books by over 100% in some cases, the only way to afford the books on the "book voucher" is to buy an access code to them in an online library. So you are forced to purchase an e-version of the book. 3rd - I had transcripts sent to Regent in March of 2022, its now October of 2022 and my student records have no been updated. Base Education has informed me that due to Regent not updating my transcript, they will no longer approve tuition assistance for Regent university. So not only is Regent saying they will drop me for non payment by base education (tuition assistance), base education states they will not approve any classes at Regent until they update my transcripts. Catch 22?! I have called relentlessly, I have emailed persistently and waited patiently and Regent has been the absolute worst experience of any school I've attended in my adult life. The curriculum is not bad, the instructors I had the pleasure of studying under are amazing but I will never recommend anyone using tuition assistance, or transferring from another school attend Regent.
