St. Norbert College

Introduction

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."

Much has changed since 1898 when the college was founded to train young men for the priesthood, yet the deep sense of community you will find here and at our parish remains strongly rooted in the Norbertine order. As our mission states, we are dedicated to providing an education that fosters intellectual, spiritual and personal development.
