Regis College and Southcoast Health announce a strategic partnership to support continued educational development and employee recruitment by providing access to undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and professional certificate programs at Regis College. This agreement includes special tuition savings rates and allows the use of the Regis campus facilities for many eligible Southcoast Health employees and their family members.
Regis creates unique partnerships to provide for the needs of its partners, such as Southcoast Health. These 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 also feature access to Regis graduates, a talent pool of exceptionally prepared and dedicated students in several fields, including health care and education.
“Southcoast Health is proud to partner with Regis College and support our employees that are seeking to continue their professional development through further education,” said Beth Welborn, Employee Experience and Wellbeing Manager at Southcoast Health. “We are constantly looking for ways to help individuals progress in their careers and reach their goals. This partnership helps our employees achieve advanced degrees and certificates to follow their clinical interests and helps inspire current students to consider careers in healthcare.”
“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 Southcoast Health 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 most of the 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.
