Schiller International University proposes education as a force to unite people, nations, and cultures to encourage active development of international understanding. Students have the invaluable experience of studying together with people from many different national and cultural backgrounds and forming lifelong relationships. Understanding other economies, cultures, and political systems is becoming increasingly critical in today's global economy. Schiller International University prepares students to develop into global citizens of the world and meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Here each student counts, each student is taken seriously, and faculty members know students by their names. Close attention is paid to each individual, and most importantly, equal emphasis is placed on professionalism and on the education as a whole for the individual. Students develop the ability to think creatively and critically while enhancing effective communication skills. Personal initiative is encouraged throughout. Because Schiller is small by design, you will always be recognized as an individual and your uniqueness will shine through. Schiller professors promote discussion and interaction between professor and student. Multiculturalism is an integral part of the learning experience.
