Since its inception in 1877, Regis University has achieved a reputation for outstanding teaching and groundbreaking programs. The Jesuit tradition stands as the cornerstone of the University, placing an emphasis on top academics alongside of community service. Every student that graduates from Regis leaves with the scholastic, social, spiritual, and physical background then need to serve them in the real world. All undergraduates complete the core curriculum, covering a broad range of study in literature, writing, speech communications, natural science, math, philosophy, religious studies, fine arts, and the social sciences. Annual seminars amplify this foundation by providing practical applications of classroom learning and exploring the question of "How Ought We To Live." First-year students participate in the Freshman Seminar to get oriented at Regis and work with the faculty member that will be their advisor. Because of the Regis Graduation Guarantee, students can be confident that they will be able to complete their degrees in four years; otherwise, the University pays for the additional tuition, pending eligibility. Regis offers a work-study program that guarantees qualified students a job that pays up to $2,400 a year. The University was acknowledged by the latest U.S. News and World Report ratings as one of the Tier One Western Colleges and Universities.

Overview
From The School
Location
Regis sits just outside of Denver, Colorado, enjoying 90 acres of Rocky Mountain scenery. The campus is located amid a quiet, residential neighborhood, but nearby Denver offers all the opportunities of a major city. The "Mile High City" provides major-league sporting events as well as access to internship opportunities and government positions. Winter sports enthusiasts appreciate the proximity to the ski slopes of Keystone, Breckenridge, and Copper Mountains. The climate is excellent, and the area's thriving population of two million enjoys the 300 days of sunshine annually.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Regis has kept up-to-date with the rapidly changing computer technology, allowing students to utilize these powerful learning and research tools. Computer clusters are available around the clock, and all dormitories have computer labs with internet access. Each Regis student has an individual email account.
Students conduct research in the four libraries' collection of more than 280,000 volumes, 2,100 periodical subscriptions, 600 CD-ROMs, 110,000 microforms, and an 85,000-slide art history collection. It is easy to locate materials using the CARL online catalog, which also connects top 140 databases and document delivery services. In the newly renovated main library, every study station has a network port, making the facility one of the most wired in the country.
The Coors Life Directions Center provides facilities for the Offices of Career Services and Personal Counseling in addition to the Fitness Program and Health Center.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Whether students want to explore the outdoors or take advantage of Denver resources, they have access to it all at Regis. The local professional sports teams, the Denver Broncos, the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Rockies, the Colorado Rapids, and the Colorado Avalanche, draw a loyal fan base. Denver is a highly educated city, with the second highest number of college graduates per capita. The city offers attractions including the lower downtown historic district (LoDo), the zoo, the Museum of Natural History, the Denver Botanic Gardens, the Denver Art Museum, the U.S. Mint and the State Capitol, and Red Rocks Amphitheater. Those interested in theater attend the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, which puts on at least 10 Broadway show each season. At the altitude of one mile, Denver offers a dry, sunny Rocky Mountain. Even in the middle of winter, the temperature can climb into the 60s due to the chinook. There are endless chances for skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, climbing, rafting, and hiking.
