The University of Regina provides a dynamic, innovative and supportive learning experience with a growing national reputation for excellence in teaching and research. As a Canadian school, the University of Regina's comprehensive services and programs prepare students to excel in local and global communities and its research opportunities attract the best and brightest minds.

The University of Regina's programs have grown in response to the needs of the province; the balance of scholarship, research and public service is attracting students and international attention. Specialized programs are offered in a number of areas including journalism, social work, media production and studies, actuarial science, petroleum engineering, fine arts, software systems, education, police studies, health studies, Public Policy, business administration, and many others. A cooperative education program, the first of Western Canadian schools, is available in arts, business administration, engineering and science (computer science, physics, chemistry and biochemistry, and mathematics and statistics including actuarial science internships). An Aboriginal co-operative education program is available in each of these areas.

The undergraduate petroleum engineering program at the University of Regina is the largest in the country. The Police Studies BA was the first policing degree to be offered by a Canadian university and is resulting in partnerships with police services in the province and beyond.
