School for Professional Advancement

Our students are working professionals, parents and spouses seeking their bachelor's or master's degree from an accredited University that respects the balance between work, school and family. We are proud of our reputation as a national leader in adult education, offering innovative online learning, multiple campus locations, nationally-recognized curriculum and dedicated, award-winning faculty.

Accessible
Backed by over 130 years of tradition and academic excellence, Regis College's School for Professional Advancement continues to make earning a respected degree accessible and affordable through online program formats and generous financial aid packages.
Focused
You're here to get a degree, and we're here to help.
