Regis University

Regis University places an emphasis on academic excellence. Regis University educates leaders in the Jesuit Catholic tradition of academic rigor, intellectual exchange, service learning and faculty commitment to each student's personal development. Since 1877, Regis' values-centered education has prepared intelligent, caring women and men to excel in their chosen professions and to be "leaders in service of others" in their communities.

Our student body is composed of students from diverse backgrounds and beliefs. The campus is located in a pleasant residential neighborhood in northwest Denver, Colorado--only 30 minutes from the Rocky Mountain foothills. Regis University has been regionally accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools since 1922.

The Loretto Heights School of Nursing
