Academics

At Regis, every class you take will require time, work, and effort, but it is well worth it. The classes are interesting and engaging. Because of how small the class sizes are, it is rare to be in a lecture-style course. A lot of courses revolve around discussion, team-based learning, and community involvement.

Some classes are easy, if that is what you are good at, but you still must study hard for tests and put effort into projects, essays, and other assignments. Some classes are very hard, even if it was easy for you in high school. Regis has challenged me in many classes to study hard, rethink my attitude about certain subjects, and better my writing. Don't expect everything to be easy for you, and if you skip classes even if they are "easy," then you should still put in hard work and good effort for those classes; that is how you'll succeed.

Academically, Regis is no Colorado College or Mines, but it is definitely up there. What makes Regis special, in comparison to other colleges, is its focus on the Jesuit values and implementing these in your studies. Be prepared for this, and prepare to challenge your beliefs.
