The Schreiner University Honors Program values the unique backgrounds of its members and supports each individual in their journey to understand and shape their place in the world.

The program intends to provide curated learning environments to meet the needs and interests of intellectually curious college students by offering honors courses designed to engage students in a dynamic liberal arts education; extracurricular opportunities to develop academically, socially, and spiritually; and experiences advantageous for graduate school admission.

Students in the program are recognized as ‘Schreiner Honors Scholars.’ Before graduation, each scholar is required to hold a leadership position on campus. Additionally, scholars are encouraged to take advantage of the international travel opportunity at the end of their sophomore year at a greatly reduced and affordable cost as well as to apply for the Hatton Sumners Scholarship and other prestigious merit-based scholarships.

Cross-honors social activities and annual honors-only courses foster connections between new students and upper-class honors students, helping them navigate college life and achieve their academic goals through peer collaboration. Students benefit from personalized mentorship from honors faculty and have the opportunity to engage in high-level discussions on diverse topics through IDST courses and the Honors Colloquium. Upon graduation, students are recognized as Schreiner Honors Scholars, earning an honors designation on their diplomas as well as an honors ring.

Students interested in the Honors Program should designate that interest when they complete their application to Schreiner University.

Once you have been admitted to Schreiner University, you will have access to the Learning Communities online application through your Schreiner One account.  To login to Schreiner One use your student login credentials. Please visit the Learning Communities page in Schreiner One to apply.

The Director of the Honors Program will review applications in the order they are received. Applicants who demonstrate a strong fit with the community, based on their completed application, will be invited to join the program.
