Regis’ top priority is our students' success. New students are supported through a First-Year Experience which includes a curriculum and co-curriculum that emphasizes:
- Successfully transitioning students from high school to college;
- Learning about the mission of Regis and the values of its founders through service and community engagement;
- Connecting students to resources that support their social, academic, emotional, and spiritual development;
- Fostering student-faculty connections with the First-Year Experience faculty member also serving as a student’s first year academic advisor.
The remainder of our Core Curriculum focuses on providing students with the Essential Learning Outcomes in accordance with the Association of American Colleges and Universities and is in line with the mission of our founders, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, and the Catholic intellectual tradition.
