A little more than a decade ago, Regis College appeared on the verge of closing after years of losing students and money; now, the school is in the first stages of a $75 million expansion and upgrade of its facilities. Jeff Denneen, the leader of Bain & Company's Higher Education practice, said Regis has positioned itself to prosper by squeezing costs even as it has grown. In addition, Bain projects enrollment in STEM-related master's programs, such as those offered by Regis, will increase at an annual rate of 7%, compared with 3% for all master's programs.
