Minifie Fund, the school offers a Master of Journalism as well as an undergraduate program; in 2024, following a one-year pause to redesign its curriculum, the school launched a new Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, News Media, and Communication.

History

The University of Regina traces its roots to Regina College, a high school established by the Methodist Church of Canada in 1911. The college affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan in 1925, ceded fully to it in 1934, gained degree-granting status as the University of Saskatchewan's Regina Campus in 1961, and became the independent University of Regina on July 1, 1974.
