What is the Honors Program?
The St. Norbert College Honors Program provides highly motivated, intellectually curious and creative students with a college experience that challenges them academically, engages them in a diverse and dynamic intellectual community, and inspires them to embrace the Catholic, Norbertine model of service. It includes course work, participation in a living-learning community, and a senior project.
Most first-year honors students live together in Bergstrom Hall, where they actively engage in building a community of student-scholars (and have a good time doing so!). All honors students take one course a semester that is honors-only, with an even smaller enrollment than traditional classes. These discussion-based classes provide students with a challenging classroom environment and lots of interaction with the professor, as well as with other talented and dedicated students.
The Honors Program actively promotes interaction and collaboration between honors students and faculty. For example, honors students may substitute an honors class with a series of “honors tutorials”—mini-classes (four students maximum) that meet over a three-week period. Faculty members offer topics for students to choose from.

 “My honors courses and professors have taught me a great deal on how to ask insightful questions and to view my world through a variety of lenses. Being surrounded by a community of students who are striving to make an impact on the world was the motivation I needed to begin to reach my full potential. I truly believe that my growth so far through the Honors Program at SNC is providing me with the tools I need to succeed after college.”
