Beyond the fact that the application and enrollment processes were pretty straightforward, it’s the faculty that makes the difference at Regis! One particular perk I’ve found is how willing the faculty is to allow me to push some of my learning beyond the structured coursework. Anytime I’ve asked to incorporate something new or different into an assignment, I get the response, “Go for it!”.
