Students who entered Regis College land at a median of $52,873 a decade later, close to what most four-year schools deliver. The six-year graduation rate of 72% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Median debt at graduation is $25,500, roughly typical for an undergraduate degree. Mobility is where this school separates itself: 2.4% of students move from the bottom income quintile to the top.

Yield rate
7.5%

70% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. 3,432 applications came in, enough to make the rates below reasonably stable year to year. A 8% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

Full-time retention
79%
Transfer-out rate
15%
Student:faculty
9:1

A 72% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. First-year retention is 79% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. 15% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,017 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $28,575 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $21,415 while those at $110k+ pay $33,106. Grant aid reaches 84% of students at an average of $31,868. Borrowing is widespread: 67% take federal loans.

Entering first-year students

A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income

The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
