Our Emeritus Faculty

From distinguished criminologists to celebrated nurses and decorated historians to renowned mathematicians, Regis University’s emeritus faculty represent a vast spectrum of academia. Though they’ve retired, their impact endures.

From computer science to religious studies, each academic field at Regis shares an important commonality: They were all made better by our emeritus faculty members.

What does Emeritus mean?

Emeritus is a special designation earned by faculty members who retain their rank or title, and various privileges in the Regis community, after retirement.

 

The designation of Professor Emeritus indicates a post-retirement honor. View our Faculty Finder to see a full directory of our faculty members who are actively teaching and to learn more about their scholarly pursuits.
