“The only Norbertine college in the world — a top Catholic liberal arts community on Wisconsin's Fox River near Green Bay.”
Saint Norbert College (SNC) is a private Catholic liberal arts college and the only Norbertine college in the world, founded in 1898 by the Norbertine order. Located on a 116-acre riverfront residential campus along the Fox River in De Pere, Wisconsin, just south of Green Bay, SNC combines its distinctive Catholic and Norbertine heritage with a comprehensive liberal arts and pre-professional curriculum. With approximately 1,970 undergraduates and a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio, the college offers personalized education across 70+ majors and minors with strong programs in business, education, communication, and the natural sciences. SNC's academic identity is grounded in the Norbertine values of community, Communio, dialogue, and stewardship. The college's College of Arts and Sciences offers comprehensive programs across biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, communication, English, history, philosophy, and more, while distinctive offerings in business administration, education, and pre-health programs prepare students for immediate professional success. Outcomes data is exceptional: 91% of recent graduates are employed, pursuing further education, or in service within a year of graduation, rising to 96% by year two and 94% by year six. Campus life centers on a residential community with multiple housing options including residence halls, townhouses, apartment-style suites, and themed houses — and all traditional undergraduates not registered as commuters are required to live on campus. With about 90 student organizations, the famous summer Knights on the Fox concert series, and 23 NCAA Division III varsity sports as the Green Knights (with 160+ conference championships and 15 national titles), SNC offers a vibrant residential experience. The Green Knights' iconic fleur-de-lis emblem on football helmets — rooted in the medieval Norbertine privilege from the kings of France — connects modern campus traditions to centuries of order history. With an 86% acceptance rate, $37,000 average financial aid award, and rolling admissions, SNC offers an accessible path to a personal Catholic liberal arts education.
