"I truly credit much of my success to the M.Ed. Educational Leadership program at Regent University. The program was rigorous and meaningful. The ISLLC course was without a doubt one of the most beneficial courses because it actually allowed me to apply the knowledge that I learned in the classroom to make critical decisions prior to real world application—affording me the opportunity to reflect on decisions and correct mistakes. Also, the entire faculty was caring and passionate about teaching and learning. Attending Regent University has allowed me to position myself to be a blessing to others." "Words cannot express how grateful I am to the professors in the Educational Leadership program. When I took the SLLA in February, I felt very prepared and passed it on my first attempt. You guys are doing an awesome job preparing future administrators. Thanks again!" "Regent University worked very effectively with Portsmouth Public Schools as we cooperatively offered and completed two Masters in Administration cohort programs. A high percentage of our teachers completing that program are now serving in administrative positions - one is a building principal. The Regent program was flexible, relevant and dynamic. It met the needs of our participants and our school division." |
