Regis University is a private, co-educational Roman Catholic university in the United States. Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1877, it is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. Based in Denver, Colorado against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, Regis University comprises three colleges: Regis College, the Rueckert-Hartman School for Health Professions and the School for Professional Studies.
Regis University has several campuses throughout the state of Colorado. The main campus is located in northwest Denver at West 50th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard. Other sites include: Aurora, Longmont, Colorado Springs, Denver Tech Center (Greenwood Village), Fort Collins and Interlocken at Broomfield. It has two out-of-state campuses located in Summerlin and Henderson, Nevada.
Regis University's forerunner was established in Las Vegas, New Mexico by a group of exiled Italian Jesuits. In 1884, the Bishop of Denver invited the Jesuits to move the school to nearby Morrison where it was opened as Sacred Heart College. In 1887, the school moved once again to its present location and in 1921 adopted the name of Regis College in honor of Saint John Francis Regis, a 17th century Jesuit who worked with prostitutes and the poor in the mountains of Southern France. In 1991, it was renamed Regis University with three schools: the original Regis College, the School for Professional Studies, and the School for Health Professions.
Regis, in addition to its traditional curriculum, offers several online degree programs, including an MBA program, in which thousands of new students are enrolled every year. Regis University has a long tradition of charitable service working including the well known Father Woody Projects which originate in the Archdiocese of Denver, but are active at Regis; including a well known Father Woody Christmas Party for the homeless.
