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 twenty-eight Jesuit college 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?"
