The history of Regent University is an inspiring testament of what vision backed by excellence, innovation and integrity can accomplish. Dr. M.G. “Pat” Robertson had an inspired vision of establishing a graduate-level institution that would train capable men and women for the challenge of representing Christ in their professions. In 1977, his vision materialized — a 70-acre parcel of land in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was cleared, the foundation was poured for the university’s first building, and an institution was incorporated as “CBN University.” The following year, 77 students began classes in modest, rented facilities nearby.

Today, thousands of students are earning their associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at Regent University. Throughout its dramatic growth as a global center for Christian thought and action, the university has remained steadfast to its mission — Christian Leadership to Change the World.
