Regis College

Graduate programs allow graduates and non-traditional students to succeed in the workplace or to re-tool and advance their careers through strongly degree-focused programs in occupational therapy; counseling psychology; medical imaging; nursing; health administration; biomedical sciences; education; communication; and heritage studies. Post-Baccalaureate and other certificates in gerontology, informatics, nursing leadership, clinical research, product registration, public health, integrative health, and communication for health care professionals are also offered. Regis College Online is in its second year. Offering graduate programs in health sciences and nursing, Regis College Online has enrolled nearly 1,000 graduate students who hail from states across the country, and a few beyond our borders. Regis College Online focuses on the same mission, to prepare students to serve “our Dear Neighbor without distinction” and to lead in their communities and fields. It aligns with the strategic priorities to increase Regis visibility, design sustainable growth initiatives, and expand Regis's footprint to increase access to higher education.

Regis College is committed, as part of the international community, to help build and enhance the human infrastructure of Haiti’s health system through the Regis In Haiti project. Even before the devastating earthquake in January 2010, Haiti struggled with a severe shortage of healthcare workers, poor infrastructure and routine lack of healthcare. Conceived in 2007, Regis In Haiti, an International Nurse Faculty Partnership Initiative (INFPI), aims to improve access to quality health care in Haiti by addressing the acute nursing shortage and the call for an advancement of nursing education in Haiti. The Young School of Nursing partnered with the Haitian Ministry of Health, private and public nursing school leaders in Haiti, and the Boston-based medical charity Partners In Health (PIH) to launch this innovative, advanced education and leadership program for Haitian nursing faculty (most of whom have the equivalent of an associate’s degree) across Haiti who earn a degree from the State University of Haiti. The third cohort of nursing faculty graduated in March 2018. For more than a decade Regis has worked alongside local partners in Haiti through Regis In Haiti to focus together on the advancement of nursing education and the nursing profession. Regis is also working in Haiti on a clinical care and education project in Grand Goave, with the Be Like Brit Foundation and Orphanage.

Regis is investing in its campus master plan, an initiative that includes future plans for both the completion of its athletic complex and construction of an additional science building or building wing. It also includes updating spaces in existing buildings, including science laboratories, and creating new student learning and living spaces (Maria Hall extention) and study/support locations (renovation of the Media Center to include the Lorraine Tegan Learning Common). This aligns with the strategic plan priority to optimize space and continued campuswide contemporization.
