The employees of Bay State Community Services and their family members will have access to undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and professional certificate programs that include discounted tuition and use of the Regis campus facilities.
Regis creates unique partnerships to provide for the needs of its partners, such as Bay State Community Services. The partnerships offer benefits such as discounted tuition, customized program delivery (including the possibility of on-site classes at partner offices) and admission to university events. To support employee recruitment, the partnerships feature access to Regis graduates, a talent pool of exceptionally prepared and dedicated students in several fields, including health care and education.
“We are thrilled to announce this strategic partnership with Regis College, which underscores Bay State Community Services' commitment to investing in the professional development of our employees and their families,” said Bay State Community Services' Executive Director, Daurice Cox, Psy.D, CAS. “By providing access to a wide range of educational programs and resources, we are empowering our team to reach their fullest potential. This collaboration reflects our shared vision of fostering a supportive learning environment that benefits both our organization and the community we serve.”
“Central to the Regis College mission is expanding access to higher education opportunities,” said Regis College President Antoinette Hays, PhD, RN. “These strategic partnerships support local organizations in their efforts to provide personally and professionally rewarding staff development opportunities to promote retention and opportunities to recruit the best candidates for open positions in their organizations. This partnership is designed to provide employees of Bay State Community Services a collaborative, flexible, and convenient way to earn college credits and advance their career at a discounted rate with mentorship from accomplished faculty with real-world experience.”
Partners have access to facilities on the Regis campus located in Weston on more than 100 acres, offering meeting space, a library, fine arts center with theater, auditorium and gallery, athletic facilities and ample parking. Partners also have access to the university’s intellectual capital of faculty and students, infrastructure for joint research drawing on faculty renowned in healthcare and allied professions, and opportunities for incubator space and simulation labs.
Depending on the program, Regis partners’ employees and their family members receive tuition discounts of 10 to 25 percent. The discount is eligible for all on-campus, hybrid, onsite and online certificates, and graduate and doctoral degree programs. There is no cost to establish a partnership, but the mutual commitment empowers partner employees to pursue their educational goals through the university’s exemplary academic programs.
