About

Schreiner University is an independent, Presbyterian-affiliated liberal arts institution in the Texas Hill Country, best known for its personalized education and strong programs in nursing, business administration, graphic design, and aviation. As a designated Hispanic-Serving Institution with competitive NCAA Division III athletics, Schreiner offers a tight-knit, community-oriented student experience enriched by outdoor recreation along the nearby Guadalupe River. A key distinctive feature is the "Schreiner Premier" model, an all-inclusive tuition structure that covers all textbooks, course fees, and campus programming to ensure transparent costs for students.

Wikipedia:Schreiner University is a private Presbyterian university in Kerrville, Texas. The university enrolls an estimated 1,300 undergraduate and graduate students. It offers over 40 four-year undergraduate programs, an MBA and a master of education. Established in 1923, it has been coeducational since 1932.
