Read More About Erica

How long have you been teaching at Regis? And how long have you been teaching in the B.A. in Liberal Arts program?
I’ve been teaching at Regis since 2008, and I have been an assistant professor in the Liberal Arts department since 2018.

What kind of professional expertise and knowledge do you bring to the liberal arts classroom?
My specialty is Mediterranean religious history. This means I teach, research and write on Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Greco-Roman religions, the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean region. By focusing on an area of geography — the Mediterranean region — rather than on a single religious tradition, I am better able to see interconnections, linkages and areas of difference between religious traditions.

In your opinion, what are the greatest strengths of the liberal arts program at Regis?
Recent studies of employers across various sectors tell us that employers want graduates who have liberal arts skills. These kinds of liberal arts skills include problem solving, emotional intelligence and effective teamwork, communication skills and ethical values. At Regis, we offer classes that intentionally and effectively build exactly these skills.

What differentiates the Regis B.A. in Liberal Arts from similar programs at other universities?
We are a dedicated degree-completion program. We accept up to 80 transfer credits, so that you can put your past experience to immediate use and earn your degree sooner. Regis is also a Jesuit educational institution, embodying the best of the Jesuit intellectual tradition. We have faculty who care about you and who want to help you become the best possible version of yourself.

What type of student thrives in the B.A. in Liberal Arts program at Regis? What sort of talents and abilities are useful in the program?
Hardworking students who are busy professionals and caregivers but serious about earning their degrees are the students who thrive in our program. We offer online, flexible classes — taught by talented and caring faculty — that will allow you to complete your liberal arts degree more efficiently and yet still at your own best pace.

What advice would you give to someone who’s considering finishing their degree, continuing their education, or pursuing a degree for the first time as an adult?
You are closer than you think to a Regis education! You also have knowledge, abilities, experiences and life skills on which you can draw to help you succeed. We have thousands of graduates who are out in the world pursuing their professional goals and dreams as a result of earning their degrees with us, and you can do it too!
