Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1877, it is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.〔(Regis University: About Regis )〕〔(Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities: List of Member Institutions )〕 Based in Denver, Colorado, Regis University is divided into five colleges: Regis College, The Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions, the College for Professional Studies, the College of Computer and Information Sciences, and the College of Business and Economics.〔(Regis University: Schools/Colleges )〕 The university is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://regis.edu/regis.asp?sctn=home&p1=accred )〕 In 2013 the University web site stated that it had obtained a top tier ranking as one of the best colleges and universities in the United States for 19 consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report. ==History== Regis University was established by a group of exiled Italian Jesuits in 1877 in Las Vegas, New Mexico.〔(CollegeProfiles.com: Regis University )〕 That institution was named Las Vegas College.〔 In 1884, the Bishop of Denver invited the Jesuits to create a college at Morrison where Sacred Heart College was opened. In 1887, the two colleges merged and moved once again to the present location of Regis University. The name from then on was College of the Sacred Heart. In 1921 it adopted the name of Regis College in honor of Saint John Francis Regis, a 17th-century Jesuit who worked with prostitutes and the poor in the mountains of Southern France, and the prep section was separated to become the present-day Regis Jesuit High School. In 1991 it was renamed Regis University.
