About This School

Regis University is a private nonprofit institution located in Denver, Colorado with approximately 2,599 undergraduate students enrolled. Regis University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 87%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,689 per year. The graduation rate is 61%, and the typical graduate earns $62,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Regis University is a private Jesuit university in Denver, Colorado, United States. Founded in 1877 by the Society of Jesus, the university offers more than 120 degrees through three colleges in a variety of subjects, including education, liberal arts, business, nursing, and technology. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Regis is one of 27 Jesuit Catholic universities in the United States, and is the only Jesuit institution in the Rocky Mountain region.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 61% graduation rate and 75% freshman retention suggest a meaningful chunk of students don't finish, which is worth probing before committing. That said, the only Jesuit university in the Rocky Mountain region offers a values-driven education in Denver at a net price of about $22,700/year, and graduates who do finish out earn a solid median of $62,700 a decade later with relatively modest debt. Worth considering if you're drawn to the Jesuit mission, want a small-school feel in a major city, and have a clear plan to stay enrolled — but ask hard questions about support services and why students leave.
