From Las Vegas to Lowell Boulevard

Founded in 1877 by a group of exiled Italian Jesuits living in New Mexico, Colorado's Regis University is the only Jesuit Catholic university in the Rocky Mountain West, and one of 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States.

Inspired by St. Ignatius Loyola, the mission of Regis University is to educate men and women of all ages to make a positive impact in a rapidly-changing global society. We encourage our students to seek truth, live purposeful lives and continually examine and attempt to answer the question: "How ought we to live?"
