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.
Values: Why We Do It
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.
