What a scam...
For an exclusively online program, this school is terrible. They sell their online program by starting out with a very video oriented classroom environment and sell you the idea that you can complete your classes while running on a treadmill, etc....however this is not the case after the very first course. The next 12 courses barely utilize the "online classroom" environment, which is nothing more than a low-tech discussion forum.
Regis puts no money at all in to their online program. They actually don't even have professors teaching the courses, they have "facilitators" who actually have a policy to not assist students, rather defer you to other students for help.
They are all about the money, and operate at the lowest cost possible...embedded in the course materials you will find advertisements, links to 3rd party tools, etc... I got a call one day from a Regis faculty member who called to "verify" my personal information, was very nice, chatted for a while, and then asked for a donation which is all he was really after.
The quality of students in this program is terrible. Most of them can't even spell. I think this says a lot about their program since this appears to be who they gear their program towards. Most of these students really think they're making something of themselves and refuse to believe they have been conned by Regis.
I am near completion of my MBA, and for the very little work I have put in to maintain a 4.0 GPA, I already know that this degree will be worth nothing when I finish. VERY disappointing. I would be completely outraged had I been the one paying the tuition rather than my employer.
I would recommend the Regis MBA to anyone that has their employer paying for the degree, and is only after a piece of paper that says "MBA" on it. Word to the wise, do not expect to gain any knowledge or business experience through the course of this program.
The only "Masters" are those who created the Regis MBA program. They have truly built a complete gold mine scam out of a .edu website and continue to scam thousands of students across the country out of $30,000 for a worthless degree. It is one thing to run a smaller scale university and provide a reasonable education to their on-site students, but whoever is responsible for the MBA program should be ashamed of themselves.
The funny thing is that Regis refuses to comment on any complaints submitted about the program, which only further proves that they are fully aware of the situation they have created, and want to ride this out until the law otherwise prohibits.

Regis MBA
Overall, I would have to say that I really had a good experience with the Regis MBA program. At first, I was a little apprehensive about it due to its lack of professional accreditation (AACSB, ACBSP), but I was quickly put at ease by my academic advisor and the outlook of the institution. The learning model is structured in a way to teach current business trends by way of practitioners in the field. All of my instructors were well qualified and the subject matter was extremely relevant. I attended a large state university when I was younger and I would have to say that the attention I got from Regis faculty was above and beyond what I had gotten from any other institution. The online platform is pretty innovative and the school uses it as best they can. During several of my courses, they actually had streaming video recorded interviews of leading business professionals that provided valuable insight and supplemented the subject matter nicely. This was extremely helpful and I wish they had that for all the subjects. Every course had some sort of end goal, which made the material a little easier to digest. As an example, in finance, the course was set up as a large case study where we were the CFO's making the decisions for the entire course. One suggestion I would offer is possibly changing the first two foundation courses, Essentials of Business Development I & II. The courses are composed of clusters of subject matter and take an integrated approach to foundational business learning. I would suggest replacing those two courses with two solid courses that focus on two separate emphasis areas (i.e. accounting, information systems, general management, etc). Regis is a well established school with a reputation for quality. The program is very solid in content and delivery and I would recommend it to anyone.

Regis is a joke
I got involved in this program because my company would cover all the charges. My other option was University of Denver but the cost was so much higher, so I took the Regis route. This is a 1-800 anyone get a degree college. If you disagree, you are just trying to validate yourself, for waisting your money, I didn't pay for it. A majority of the professors only have Masters Degrees. One of my professors is getting his PHD at Colorado Tech, another joke school. I did my undergrad at CU and I'll tell you, the quality of professors there vs. Regis is night and day.
A lot of professors work for the government. If you don't get why that is potentially poor for your education, I really feel bad for you.
I had group members, who's quality of work was so poor, I couldn't even believe they finished undergrad. I come from a family of educators, so I feel confident that I'm a good judge. I did have a couple good Professors, so I apologize to them, however, the rest are a joke.
My cousin went to a top 10 business college and graduated with an MBA. He came out with me and a couple of friends and talked to us about his degree. We sounded like we had never even went to an "mba" degree. We were lost. Other students felt the same way, the ones who say how great it is, are not that bright and could never make it anywhere else.

Exceptional School with great Resources
After looking at several schools, I chose Regis University for my degree for a number of reasons. First, the reputation of the degree received from Regis University is excellent in the business community. More so in Colorado than other states, but even back east, those in the know, know of Regis' strong academic reputation. Class schedules have so far worked out for my evening class time needs as I work during the day. I like to take a mix of online and in-class courses. My general preference in in-class, just because I like the personal interaction better, but the online class has been good too so far, even though it took a couple of days to get the feel of how to get the most out of the online class experience. The instructors and curriculum are challenging and always relevant to what I'm doing in my career, so it's great to be able to directly apply new things I learn right away. As for support, I think its great. They have a student support line with extended hours and you can call for help in finding research items through the online library to getting your email account set-up. Always very nice and helpful. Tuition seems a bit high, but where isn't it these days? Overall, I beleive I made a good choice in selecting Regis University for my Marketing degree. Can't wait to wrap it up!
