What are the academics like at your school?

I have been most impressed with the secular and Christian integrations and comparisons in both my earth science class and my philosophy class. Beyond these, I am in love with the constant pursuit of Christ in every class.

I feel like the academics are everything you would ever want from a university. There is a 18:1 student to teacher ratio. So the teachers know you by name. The professors are passionate about what they teach and are equipping the students for excellence. If you want you can develop deeper relationships with your professors. I’ve had coffee with a few, went to dinner with a group of students with another, and even was invited to attend the hockey game of my female professor. The course work can be challenging but professors encourage students to come to their office hours for help. You do have to take classes at Regent that are, as some would say, religious. The general education requirements include your typical math, science, history as well as making of a Christian mind, Christian history and thought, and so on. You really receive a well rounded education that helps you understand your faith as well as the world around you.

Most of what I say pertains to the way things are in the School of Communications at Regent University. Professors are great at Regent University. My favorite class was television production. The school has a television studio which is up to par for practical experience. My least favorite class was college math online. On average students study quite a bit however it depends on what school they are in. Students generally have more intellectual conversations than they do outside of class, which proves to be beneficial to growth in their field. Students can be competitive; however there seems to be more of an emphasis on working as a team. The most unique class I took at Regent was an acting class. Class participation was mandatory and in effect very high. It was great. Academically the School of Communication and the Arts is up to great standards and in addition it encourages students to be leaders that will influence not only the morals of the film industry but the way in which workers treat each other.

On average students study quite a bit however it depends on what school they are in. Class participation is the same as the two other colleges I've been to, which involves about seven or eight students always at the top of the discussion, as well as ten or fifteen students that might give input every now and then.

The academics in the School of Divinity were rigorous. The professors came from all denominational backgrounds (Baptist, charismatic, Presbyterian, Catholic, etc.). That's one thing I loved abou the place, the theological diveristy. We were all united however on the essentials of the faith. It is a conservative school theologically for the most part, with an emphasis on the renewal movement (open to the present day work of the Holy Spirit).

All my profs know me. I've had opportunities to build relationships with most of them... their doors are always open. Classes are good, but more learning honestly happens outside the classroom than in. I have a lot of friends in my school that I talk with... a very stimulating environment, if you choose to plug in. Online student life is a bit different, obviously... they could do a lot more to improve their online learning environment, but that's coming from a Digital Media student. I've taken over a year online and I learned tons... some of the professors need to become more adept with virtual communication, though.
