Summer 2014
Summer Programs at Regent are a great way to get a taste of what studying here is all about. Our courses are 1 or 2 weeks long, and you can choose to take them either for graduate credit, or for the pure enjoyment of learning without having to do any of the homework.
There’s no better time to experience Regent than in the summer when Vancouver is at its loveliest! Imagine yourself here in 2014.
Here's a sneak peek of our offerings this year. Visit the Regent College Summer Programs 2014 website for more information.
