Regis University sits in Denver proper — a private campus woven into the city rather than walled off from it. The school maintains its Roman Catholic affiliation, which threads through campus life to a degree that varies by program.
Its highest-earning path is Computer Science, where graduates median $114,098 four years out. Faculty pay averages $99,816 a year here — a rough proxy for what the school spends on the teaching itself. With 2,627 undergraduates and a residential core, weekends happen on campus — and 71.4% of first-years come back for a second year.
What that means for you depends on the numbers — which is what the rest of this page is for.
