Show More Studying and remembering the past is an important cultural activity for all peoples. It is only by studying the past that we learn how we have become who we are as humans and as societies. Our online Bachelor of Arts in History degree will seek to understand the historical formation of all human societies in light of a Christian worldview. The history major will serve an integral role in achieving the goals and mission of the College of Arts & Sciences and Regent University. Historical study draws on the essential skills of critical thinking, research, problem solving and communicating clearly and persuasively that are the foundation of a Christian liberal arts education. Christians preparing for leadership in a global environment need to be aware of the unique histories of other cultures across time and place that historical study provides. Their grasp of their own Christian worldview as they develop an appreciation of the worldviews of the cultures they study will enable them to interact much more fruitfully with those in our modern world. Thus, the online learning history degree at Regent University equips students with narrative frameworks for understanding the cultural formation and interaction of all cultures in all historical periods and in a variety of regions of the world, both past and present. Faculty in the history department strives to help students develop a deep appreciation for the critical role and responsibility that the Lord has given humans to create societies and cultures - those that reflect the Lord's desires for human flourishing, along with the grave tendencies of those cultures to frequently distort those desires. They desire that, in understanding history as an academic discipline, students also grow in their appreciation of the differing perspectives that ethnicity, class, gender, political perspective and religious values can bring to historical issues. Finally, our online faculty hopes to engender in students a deep appreciation for the critical role that historical understanding plays in all areas of life, from one's personal life to the issues confronting the nations of the world in the present. The skills and insights that history majors learn will equip them for careers in a wide range of professions, including journalism, law, ministry, teaching, graduate study, government service and numerous others that value analytical and writing abilities.
Entry RequirementsCurrent high school seniors or students age 22 or younger with less than 15 transferable college credits are eligible for this program.

Show More The International Studies major in the Department of Government, History, and Criminal Justice is founded upon the principle that learning about others on their own terms is a biblical responsibility of all believers1, one that demands not only moral excellence on the part of its agents, but also its diligent study and careful application. Based on this principle, this program emphasizes interdisciplinary and biblical integration, an international and cross-cultural dimension in its curriculum, strong academic content, critical thinking and analysis, and ethics as guiding principles in the education of international studies. Students in the program are thus educated to be high-level critical thinkers, excellent professionals, and ultimately, well-rounded human beings. The International Studies Program offers a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and a minor for students in other majors. The BA in International Studies prepares students for careers in a number of local, state, federal, and international agencies and organizations. Successful careers often evolve into major management, administrative, and leadership responsibilities in government and private industry. Students earning a BA degree also pursue graduate level education in diverse fields such as law, political science, international business, and public policy and administration. The International Studies major is composed of a required curriculum of 50 hours that provides students with an understanding of the various fields within and approaches to the discipline of international studies. In addition, students may choose a 3-6 credit study abroad internship that provides further in-depth study of an area of interest. Students not selecting the study abroad internship will take those credits in either the major core or major electives. Given the global nature of the program, students are also required to be proficient in a foreign language (20 hours of coursework).
Entry RequirementsCurrent high school seniors or students age 22 or younger with less than 15 transferable college credits are eligible for this program.
