About Regis University
Who We Are
Founded in 1877, Regis University is a private Jesuit Catholic university located in Denver, Colorado, with a mission to build a more just and humane world through transformative education at the frontiers of faith, reason and culture. That mission is not reserved for any one type of student. Regis welcomes people from all walks of life because we believe learning is richer when people with different experiences, perspectives and beliefs come together in the shared search for truth.
At the heart of a Regis education is the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or care for the whole person. Your education here is about more than earning a degree. It is about developing the intellectual curiosity, moral courage and commitment to service that prepare you to lead a purposeful life and contribute meaningfully to the world around you. Regis students are challenged to seek truth, serve others and continually ask the question at the core of Jesuit education: how ought we to live?
