About

Discover our top-ranked liberal arts college

Welcome to the only Norbertine college in the world

Since 1121, members of the religious order founded by Norbert of Xanten have embraced a tradition of radical hospitality. Today, 900 years later at St. Norbert College, that same tradition lives on and is enthusiastically extended to you.

SNC is rooted in our Norbertine values and the college promotes “a collaborative way of life, grounded in the value of communio and expressed in teaching and learning, in study and research, and in the generous sharing of our resources.”

At SNC, everyone is welcome.
