Regis University Athletics

Regis competes in NCAA Division II, which sits between the high-profile Division I programs and the purely recreational Division III level. The Rangers field 12 varsity sports with 233 total athletes, meaning about 9% of the student body participates in collegiate athletics. Division II schools offer athletic scholarships but maintain a stronger emphasis on academics than their Division I counterparts. Regis awards $2.6 million in athletic scholarships annually across all sports. The Rangers compete in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference alongside other regional schools like Colorado School of Mines and Metro State. The intimate campus setting with 2,599 total students creates a close-knit athletic community where games feel more personal than the massive Division I spectacles. Student-athletes here balance competitive sports with the university's Jesuit emphasis on academic excellence and service.
