  • Our Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree is offered completely online, and known for its strong academic and applied ministry focus.  
  • The Master of Theology (Th.M.) is a post-graduate level degree program designed to allow you to master an area of theological studies.

Success Stories

“In preparing to fully embrace God’s call on my life, I was attracted to Regent’s commitment to Christian Leadership to Change the World. I needed a world-class institution to help me develop the confidence to do it. My professors gave me the holistic spiritual formation I needed and refined my worldview. At Regent, I obtained the academic and theological foundation necessary to build the global ministries, businesses, and brands I oversee. I am proud and honored to be among the Regent alumni who are changing the world.”
Pastor James E. Ward Jr., Master of Divinity, Graduated Fall 2013
“When I think of Regent University, I think of destiny. Regent has been such an integral part of my, one, knowing my destiny, two, being formed and shaped to fulfill my destiny, and then, three, thrusting me into that next step.”
Kevin Turpin, M.A. in Practical Theology, 2001 Senior Assistant Pastor & President, Founder of Life Enrichment Center; Senior Associate Pastor, New Life Church
“I was so glad that I was able to study at the Regent University School of Divinity and earn my Master of Theological Studies (MTS). It has changed my perspective. After attending seminary, I have a different understanding of how to interpret God’s Word. Through the church history courses, I now see how important it is to know what kind of church Jesus is building today!”
Pastor Kevin Wu, Master of Theological Studies, 2016
“My Spiritual Formation class acts as a daily guide for me...I was once away from God and wrestling with him...The book points out that the Kingdom of Heaven is wherever Jesus is. Because I am a believer, The Almighty is with me...Regardless of how and what we feel, God still blesses us by showing us how mighty He is. A God of His word.”
Chaplain Mario Samaniego, Master of Divinity
“My training at Regent has equipped me to impact nations through teaching and preaching God's word. My teaching has changed from being content-centered to being learner-centered. I have gained a clearer vision about God's redemptive call on my life, and my time at Regent has left an indelible mark on my ministry.”
Dr. Samuel T. Koshy, Doctor of Ministry, 2024
