Every aspect of the Regis experience emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, achieving a global perspective and standing up for those who do not have a voice.

At Regis, we live our values. Our faculty members don’t just give lectures — they are scholars in every sense of the word, and serve as mentors to our students. Our focus does not solely rely on academic rigor, but also on the development and support of whole person; socially, emotionally and spiritually. As a Regis University undergraduate student, you aren't just another face in the crowd, but a new voice in our community.

Your New Home Awaits

The Regis community also knows how to have fun. Located between the thriving Denver metropolis and the magnificent Rocky Mountains, the Regis undergraduate student can access the best of Colorado living — whether that’s bustling city life, arts and culture, or easy access to some of the best hiking, skiing, camping and wilderness adventure right in our backyard.

“Regis wasn't originally on my radar, but when I came, I absolutely fell in love with the campus. To me, it always felt like home — especially when I interacted with the faculty. They brought me into the university and the culture on campus and it just felt like a smooth transition from an out-of-state student, to easily just go into college.”
