REGENTS PROFESSOR

The designation of Regents Professor is an honored position reserved for faculty scholars of exceptional ability who have achieved national and international distinction. The title Regents Professor serves as recognition of the highest academic merit and is awarded to faculty members who have made a unique contribution to the quality of the University through distinguished accomplishments in teaching, scholarship, research or creative work. This is a rare and exceptional appointment.

In recognition of the special significance of the title and the rigor of the selection process, the maximum number of Regents Professors at any one time is three percent of the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty.
