Religious Studies Department
Come explore a place where spirituality is not just an extracurricular – it is an essential part of your unique college experience. At Regis University, every religious studies class, faith-sharing group, meditation session, Mass, retreat and interfaith prayer service is an opportunity to see yourself, your faith and the world in a new way.
Rooted in Catholic tradition, the Religious Studies department engages in dialogue with diverse traditions and academic approaches to the study of religion. We strive to engage in genuine search for truth through conversations between faith and reason; critically examine religious dimensions of human knowledge and experience with particular emphasis on theological inquiry; explore how faith promotes justice; support and challenge students to become authentically free human beings with an ability and desire to understand and serve our world, especially through constructive dialogue with its diverse religious and humanistic traditions; and collaborate with each other as well as faculty from across the College in our teaching, research and service for the common good.

Minor in Catholic Studies
Catholic Studies students in Regis College identify, develop and support learning opportunities for increased understanding and appreciation of the religious, intellectual and cultural dimensions of the Roman Catholic tradition among Regis students and in the wider university community. The Minor in Catholic Studies draws on the contributions of the various academic disciplines and on interdisciplinary and college-wide resources. Its development will be guided above all by the focus on human culture, dignity and justice articulated by the Second Vatican Council in its discussion of the Church in the modern world. Studies will seek to provide students with the intellectual foundations and practical experiences necessary to prepare them for lives of service in Church and society.
*This program is offered through the Regis College Catholic Studies Department. Please contact Michael Baxter for more information on this program.
