Regis College

What Regis College does

Regis College is a private Catholic institution of higher education in Weston, Massachusetts (Greater Boston), founded in 1927 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston. It serves approximately 2,700 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students across arts, sciences, and health professions, with delivery via on-campus, hybrid, and fully online modalities. In addition to the Weston main campus, Regis operates the Regis North branch campus in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and offers select graduate courses at a Brigham and Women's Hospital location in Boston. Career outcomes are a stated strength, with 97% of students reported employed full-time or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation (five-year average) and 100% participation in internships or clinical experiences.

Its core product portfolio spans traditional four-year undergraduate degrees, master's and doctoral programs, accelerated bachelor's completion tracks for adult learners, fully online degree and certificate programs, and professional/graduate certificates in fields such as nursing, applied behavior analysis, regulatory management, restorative justice, and digital marketing communication. The technology backbone consists of standard educational infrastructure — a learning management system, the MyRegis student portal, the SHARP faculty/staff portal, SAML 2.0 single sign-on, Google Analytics, and Zoom-based synchronous and asynchronous delivery — with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML capability. A forthcoming MedCerts partnership will add more than 20 non-credit healthcare and IT certification programs beginning March 2026.

The business model is tuition-driven. Primary revenue comes from per-credit-hour tuition (e.g., $535 per credit at Regis North) supplemented by mandatory student fees (application, graduation, orientation, technology, and lab fees), student health insurance plans, and auxiliary campus services. Regis pursues a direct-to-consumer enrollment motion layered with a B2B2C employer-partnership channel that includes preferred relationships with Boston-area healthcare systems (Mass General Brigham, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Cambridge Health Alliance, Beth Israel Lahey), Novartis, City Year, JRI, Tides Foundation, and the Federal Employees Program. Employer partners receive 10–25% tuition discounts, with direct billing and onsite cohorts available for groups of 10 or more employees, creating recurring enterprise-sourced enrollment pipelines alongside individual-student recruitment.
