About Us

A Global Community

We are more than just a university; we are a global community of scholars, professionals, and global citizens that fosters collaboration, innovation, and lifelong connections across borders. For over 60 years, Schiller has welcomed students from all corners of the globe, creating a vibrant and dynamic environment that celebrates diversity and encourages unity in the face of difference.

With over 130 nationalities represented in our four international campuses (in the U.S. and Europe), we have created an environment where students from vastly different backgrounds come together to learn and grow personally and professionally. Our international campuses serve as hubs of cultural exchange, where students gain a truly global perspective and build connections that transcend borders.

One of our core values is providing personalized support to every student. We pride ourselves on our low student-to-faculty ratio, which allows for meaningful, one-on-one interactions between students and professors. Our small class sizes and close-knit community ensure that no one falls through the cracks. Moreover, students are encouraged to collaborate across borders, whether through virtual group projects, international student meetups, or cross-campus academic initiatives.This level of interconnectedness ensures that no student ever feels isolated, no matter where they are located. 

Studying at Schiller is about feeling supported and encouraged to be your authentic self in a space where diversity is celebrated, and inclusion is a top priority. At Schiller, you’re never just a number—you’re a vital part of a global family that supports you every step of the way.
