St. Norbert College has once again risen in the national liberal arts college rankings, securing the 90th spot in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report rankings, its highest to date. Over the past decade, the Catholic Norbertine institution has climbed steadily, advancing from 145th in 2019.

“Our steady ascent among the nation’s top liberal arts colleges is a significant achievement for us,” said St. Norbert College President Laurie Joyner. “This upward momentum showcases the value and impact of a St. Norbert College education, which equips graduates to serve their communities and lead in their professions. As we celebrate the college’s 126th anniversary, this recognition affirms the strength of our Catholic identity, Norbertine heritage, and commitment to the liberal arts.”

Several factors contribute to St. Norbert College’s overall ranking, including first-year retention rate, graduation rate, peer assessment, faculty resources, student selectivity, and financial resources.

St. Norbert College also ranked 74th in the Top 100 Best Value Schools.

U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best College” rankings are available online at https://www.usnews.com/colleges. The guidebook will be available on newsstands in late October.

In October, St. Norbert College will mark its 126th anniversary. As the only higher education institution founded by the Norbertines - a Catholic order devoted to community, education, and service to others - St. Norbert College remains committed to educating students within a framework of personal and social responsibility.
