Computer Science is described as "the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems". The history of Computer Science predates the invention of the modern digital computer. Early computer scientists such as Church and Turing devoted their life to solving the problem of computability: what can be computed by simply following a list of instructions with paper and pencil? Their motivation is to construct a mechanical system capable of performing all possible tasks. The creation of such a concept of universal computer marked the birth of modern computer science.
So, what can you do by studying Computer Science? Be able to design a computer language so powerful and elegant that the most difficult problems in the world can be solved? To write a mathematical proof to testify that a program is correct or erroneous? To develop an algorithm to beat the human mind in a chess game? To write a search engine that is as influential as that of Google? To write a program that can pick the best stocks? To develop an early warning system for earthquake or tsunami?
Or you want to CHANGE the world?
If any of the above inspires you and matches your specific interest, Computer Science is the discipline for you. I would urge you to come and visit our Department and we will be more than happy to share with you our study and learning experience!
The University also offers majors in French, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish, with courses ranging from language, culture, linguistics, translation and literature. These programmes are taught by specialist teachers and are supported by excellent teaching facilities and learning resources. Students enrolled in these programmes are strongly encouraged to travel abroad during the course of their studies.
The School’s strength lies in the breadth of its offerings in equipping students with the requisite language skills, as well as with cultural, literary, economic, political and social analytical knowledge. The School has the potential to bring a genuine pedagogical coherence through linkages between the various areas and programmes it teaches.
All our programmes aims to produce graduates who are able to take full advantage of the many new employment opportunities which are opening up as economic and cultural contacts around the world.
The School of General Studies (GS) is the undergraduate college created specifically for students like you – those with nontraditional backgrounds who, after a break of a year or more in their educational paths. Most students at GS have, for personal or professional reasons, interrupted their education, never attended college, or are only able to attend part time.
Whether you’ve taken time off for personal reasons, parenthood, travel, or your career, the School of General Studies – Regent International University for returning and nontraditional students – makes it possible for you to complete your degree at one of the finest institutions in the country.
Because the average age of GS students is 28, they usually have 8 to 10 more years of experience in life than traditional college students. That means that diversity at Regent International is not only measured by ethnicity and gender, but also by experience and maturity – a maturity we find leads to great academic success. At GS, you'll join a community of students who after graduation go on to pursue advanced degrees and lead stimulating professional lives.
Regent International University’s Teaching English as a Second Language department produces innovative teachers who are well versed in theoretical and applied teaching principles. Students in the licensure track program prepare to become teachers of English as a second language at the Pre-K–6 or 5–12 level.
Coursework includes the study of current research and practice in second language acquisition and assessment and instruction of oral language, reading, and writing. The program of study also includes coursework in linguistics, sheltered teaching methodologies, and policy issues that influence assessment and instruction of second language learners in U.S. public schools. In addition to coursework, you will complete a pre-practicum in the fall semester in a public school classroom and a full time practicum (student teaching) in the spring semester.
Teaching English as a Second Language Licensure Track, 5–12: Upon completion of the program and state testing requirements, you will receive initial licensing as a Teacher of English as a Second Language for students in grades 5–12.
Candidates who already possess an initial teaching licensure in another field and who would like to earn the master’s degree and the ESL license are also encouraged to apply and meet with the Program Coordinator to plan a program of study. Candidates who possess a preliminary license and would like to earn initial licensure with or without the master’s degree are also encouraged to apply and meet with the Program Coordinator to plan a program of study.
The department of Social Science has pursued academic excellence through both rigorous research and comprehensive training for students in an interdisciplinary environment. Our faculty are recruited through competitive international searches from Academia Sinica, Peking University, Renmin University, Zhongshan University, the National University of Singapore, and the Chinese Academy as well as Australia National University, Cornell University, George Mason University, Stanford University, UCLA, and Yale University; and at present, the faculty members are spread across six disciplines: Economics; Sociology; Political Science; Psychology; Geography; and Science, Technology and Society.
Our commitment to providing outstanding training programs in qualitative and quantitative social science research. Our research programs equip students with the sophisticated skills required to conduct primary research in complex settings, coupled with a broad spectrum of analytical perspectives for critical understanding of pressing issues and phenomena in the contemporary world. In addition to the theoretical and methodological insights from coursework, our students are closely mentored in learning how to select significant and timely research topics, and how to identify and deploy valuable sources in their particular research areas.
The Faculty of Business and Commerce takes an entrepreneurial approach to meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing economic and business environment by drawing together the strengths of the two schools.
Our students now can choose from an unusually rich set of cross-disciplinary studies offered by both institutions. The Faculty of Business and Commerce equips students with the vision and practical tools necessary to become successful business leaders thought out the world. The Faculty of Business and Commerce provides strong grounding in both theoretical and applied aspects of economics, allowing students to analyse how business and policy decisions are made in a dynamic world.
The combined innovative curriculum offerings include programs delivered by professors from Yale, Stanford, Oxford and Harvard Universities. Other specialized courses in economics and finance, accounting and finance, and business provide requisite skills as well as a broad disciplinary reach to students pursuing regional and international careers.
