Regent Carter studied communication at Southeast Missouri State University. After completing his bachelor’s degree, he earned a master’s degree from Florida State University. While at FSU, Regent Carter co-taught an undergraduate media production class. When a job relocated him back to Missouri, he reconnected with his former college professors who encouraged him to teach a class. His first teaching assignment was at a remote education center intended for high school students to earn college credit. Since then, Regent Carter has taught as an adjunct faculty member online, as well as on campus for several different institutions. He has worked for approximately four years as a full-time faculty member and for five years as a Program Chair at a private college.
