Schreiner professors take a special interest in students' needs and learning styles. It's also important to mention that while other universities employ graduate students and Teaching Assistants (TAs) to teach their classes, at Schreiner, all of our classes are taught by actual professors-most of which hold the highest degrees in their field. So, while your peers at larger universities will never even meet their professors, at Schreiner, you'll know yours by their first names!

Week. During these orientation days, students attend
seminars where they learn about themselves and others.
 
 
 
Ice-breakers, hikes, river rafting, the ropes course
and team building activities like the "human-knot" and
