Student Achievement
Schreiner University identifies and evaluates the success of students (i.e. student achievement) using a broad range of criteria, consistent with the mission of the institution and guided by the Office of Academic Support and Student Outcomes. These identified measures are evaluated on an ongoing basis and published regularly on the institution’s external website, promoting a transparent profile of the institution to all of its students, parents of students, faculty, staff, and board of trustees.
Inherently, student success remains at the core of the mission of Schreiner University; however, the way in which student success and student achievement are defined is not limited to one source or value, nor is it limited to a specific group of students (e.g. only the incoming Freshman cohort).
AN OVERVIEW OF THE MISSION AND STUDENT PROFILE
Student success measures at Schreiner University are connected to the mission and goals of the institution. These institutional goals are defined through a collection of statements from the most recently adopted and approved Strategic Plan 2023. Noted below, the collection of statements articulates the institution’s distinctiveness, purpose, and values which drive student achievement measures.
At Schreiner University, students enter with hope and leave with achievement. We are a diverse, fiercely independent university. We are affiliated by choice and covenant with the Presbyterian Church (USA) with our campus located in the Texas Hill Country.
Mission: What We Do
Schreiner University provides students with a personalized, integrated, and holistic educational experience that prepares them for meaningful work and purposeful lives in a changing global society.
Because Schreiner always has been a place of opportunity, all students are recognized as uniquely valuable and capable of excellence;
This diversity of people and thought will thrive only in a setting of open, civil discourse;
In the undergraduate program, every student should have the opportunity to develop intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially;
In the undergraduate and graduate programs, every student should have the opportunity to develop the capacity for life-long learning and service to society in order to participate successfully in the global world; and
Across all our educational programs, we should develop thoughtful, productive, and ethical citizens.
Vision: Where We Are Going
By 2030, Schreiner University will continue to preserve, challenge, and expand the story of Texas as its 2,030 students participate in the most unique curricular and co-curricular set of offerings in the State, including opportunities in talent and workforce development, undergraduate degrees, and graduate programs. Having earned recognition as a university that promotes social and economic mobility, Schreiner alumni will identify their time at the school as key to their personal and professional development.
