Learning Formats That Fit Your Lifestyle

At Regis University's College for Professional Studies (CPS), you will discover that finding the balance between your education, career, and personal life is possible and rewarding. We offer busy professionals learning and scheduling options designed to fit around work, family, and other life expectation.

Regis CPS accelerated programs are delivered in 5- or 8-week terms that start six times per year, so you can begin earning your degree when you are ready. Flexible options enable you to get your degree in a variety of formats—classroom-based, online, or Directed Study.

You may wish to work in only one format or combine them to meet your personal needs and learning style. By choosing the format that works for you, you can achieve your educational goals as you balance your professional and personal responsibilities. For optimal course availability, students may be required to complete their coursework online or at alternate campus locations.

Program Available in Classroom Icon   Classroom-Based

If you live or work near one of the seven Regis University Colorado campuses or our Las Vegas campus and prefer a classroom setting, this is the format for you. Most classroom-based courses meet one evening per week from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Some campuses also offer weekend courses. Availability of courses varies according to campus location and subject.

Program Available Online Icon   Online Learning

Regis CPS offers one of the leading online continuing education programs in the country. Online learning programs offer you flexibility and convenience to study and interact online from home or on the road. Online degree courses are offered in 5- or 8-week accelerated terms and run concurrently with classroom courses. Online degree courses allow you to read, do research, and interact with your facilitator and other students worldwide. The online degree format adheres to a structured schedule with assignments due weekly. Online courses are not self-paced, but do allow flexibility as far as when and where you study.

Online Consortium of Independent Colleges and Universities (OCICU)

The Online Consortium of Independent Colleges and Universities (OCICU), of which CPS is a member, offers a variety of online courses from member schools. This program enables you to incorporate online courses into your degree program that are not currently available from
Regis University.

  • OCICU courses may be taken by students with the permission of their advisor to meet CPS degree requirements.
  • Students register as Regis CPS students and pay the current Regis tuition rate for online courses.
  • Courses may be applied toward a Regis degree and are financial aid eligible.
Blended Learning Icon   Blended Learning

Regis University CPS understands that many of our students require the flexibility of our online format yet still desire the traditional, face-to-face interaction offered in the classroom. That is why our Master of Education (Principal Licensure) degree program offers courses that combine both online and on-campus requirements. This Blended Learning format is backed by a $125,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, received by Regis University in 2009. Students enrolled in our Blended Learning cohorts are only required to attend three of the classes at one of the specified Regis campuses (North Denver or DTC) during each course term; the remaining five classes are completed exclusively online. Students with a particular desire to maintain social interaction with classmates while exploring the flexibility and technological landscape of online learning will find this format to be a great fit.

Directed Study

Directed Study is for motivated, focused students who prefer to work independently, who travel frequently, or who have special interests they wish to pursue. Directed Study allows you to design your own 8-week courses with the aid of your advisor and course consultants. Your advisor will work with you to develop your degree plan and discuss Directed Study coursework options (if your degree is available in this format).
