Regis is boldy empowering the next generation of leaders to change lives.
A coed, Catholic university founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, Regis offers innovative programs in the arts and sciences, business and communication, health sciences, and nursing. What sets Regis apart is our community—an open-minded environment that welcomes all without distinction. Professors both challenge and support, tradition is honored as much as innovation. As you learn more, we’re confident you’ll see why Regis is a place for your students to belong.
PERSONALIZED SUPPORT Majors and Programs One of the best aspects of a Regis education is the support and mentorship from faculty. Many students work alongside their professors on complex research projects, learn in state-of-theart simulation labs, and receive personalized guidance on their academic paths. A foundation in the liberal arts ensures our students are well-rounded and forward-thinking.
