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 offers both undergraduate
and graduate programs to meet the educational needs of a variety
of students. Our faculty are dedicated, caring experts who bring
their extensive clinical, academic and leadership experience to
the classroom and clinical settings. The nursing laboratory
facilities include a skills lab, as well as a simulation lab with
state-of-the-art computers and specialized interactive simulation
mannequins and software. Our nursing programs offer a holistic,
personal and humanistic approach to individual, family and
community health.
Caring for people in health and illness and helping individuals
cope with the stress of living and dying are the essences of
professional nursing taught at Regis University. Nursing
graduates are also prepared to work in many new and modified
roles with changed professional practice expectations in public
health, ambulatory care, nursing home, extended care, assisted
living, occupational health, home health and other
community-based settings. Regis University is accredited by The
Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central
Association.

The RN-BSN program offers working RNs the opportunity to pursue
their BSN either entirely online or 1 night each week on our main
Denver campus. Students from all over the U.S. participate in the
program. RNs with a diploma from a hospital school of nursing or
with an associate degree from a community college, enter the
program to complete course work to earn their BSN degree.
The program consists of prerequisite course work and ten upper
division nursing major courses and various non-nursing courses,
many of which may have already been completed. As part of the
Colorado Articulation Agreement, nurses in the program are
awarded 33 semester hours toward their degree upon completion of
their first practicum course.
To be considered for acceptance as a degree-completion candidate,
campus students must be licensed to practice nursing in Colorado
and online applicants must be licensed in their state of
residence. The online program can be completed entirely in your
area of residence and takes 12-22 months to complete. Class size
is limited, so students are encouraged to apply early to secure
your spot.
