Schreiner University is a private liberal arts institution located in Kerrville, Texas, and has a religious affiliation to the Presbyterian Church. The University enrolls an estimated 1,300 undergraduate and graduate students. It offers 27 four-year undergraduate programs, an MBA and a master of education. Established in 1923, it has been coeducational since 1932. As of the fall 2011, Schreiner had a student/faculty ratio of 13:1. The University is also home to Greystone Preparatory School, a college level Service Academy preparatory program for those who did not receive appointments or nominations straight out of high school.
Captain Charles Schreiner, Sr., founded Schreiner Institute (sometimes called Schreiner Military Institute) in 1917 and worked toward its establishment until 1923. The military institute, a residential school, was created for young boys and included both secondary school and junior college curricula to prepare students for further education. The year 1971 marked the end of military training at the institute. In 1973, it began focusing on a college curriculum and changed its name to Schreiner College. The college experience changed once more in 1981 when it became a four-year college. The college became Schreiner University in 2001 and began offering master's degrees. Schreiner University now hosts a number of lecture series and academic conferences, including its annual popular culture symposium.
In 2017, Schreiner surpassed its five-year capital campaign fundraising goal of $50 million. Since 2012, the institution has received $52.4 million from approximately 3,600 donors. Nearly $30 million of the amount raised is earmarked for student scholarships, which have been previously funded at $13 million. The school will add endowed chairs in mathematics, science, and humanities and hire a visiting artist and performer or designer in residence. Schreiner has a current enrollment of 1,300.approxi
