The University of Regina (U of R) is a comprehensive university, tracing its roots back to the creation of Regina College, a small residential high school established by the Methodist church in 1911. The College grew in size and significance becoming a campus of the University of Saskatchewan and, ultimately, an independent degree granting university the University of Regina in 1974.

The University offers more than 190 undergraduate programs and 80 graduate programs, including many specialized programs such as police studies and public policy. It has 10 faculties, 25 academic departments and schools, 10 institutional-level research centres and institutes, and three federated colleges: Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College. Some programs are also delivered with partners including Saskatchewan Polytechnic, regional colleges, Gabriel Dumont Institute, and Yukon University.

In Regina, the main and historic College Avenue campuses are located on 239 acres in Wascana Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, providing an attractive study and work environment for our students, faculty and staff. Both campuses are 100 per cent smoke-free as part of our commitment to providing a safe and healthy place in which to study, work, live, and visit.

The University of Regina is home to a diverse research community that includes faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and several research chairs. Ten institutional-level research centres and institutes and numerous faculty-operated centres support research collaboration and partnerships focused on their research strengths.
