Academic Programs
Experiential learning is the norm at St. Norbert. Research fellowships, as early as freshman year, give students hands-on opportunities to experience graduate-level research. Those collaborations with St. Norbert faculty continue throughout students' four years, and often include the opportunity to present work at local, regional or national conferences.
Students are also encouraged to participate in one of the more prolific study-abroad programs in the country, spanning six continents, 30 countries and more than 70 program sites. Approximately 30 percent of St. Norbert students study abroad each year — well above the national average.
International perspective is part of the fabric at St. Norbert on campus, as well. Our Center for Global Engagement on campus encourages a diverse student body, typically welcoming students from more than 20 countries.
All students are assigned an advisor, who helps them chart their academic career and ensure they can graduate in four years. Students have the option of designing a personal major to help them achieve their academic objectives.
For high-achieving students, a challenging Honors Program provides plenty of opportunity for academic engagement. Honors students enjoy their own living-learning community of intellectually curious and creative students.
The metropolitan Green Bay area offers students nearly unlimited opportunities for internships. The region boasts Fortune 500 companies and numerous hospitals, schools and service organizations. Of course, students also regularly intern for the 13-time world champion Green Bay Packers, who hold their summer training camp on campus.
For those students more interested in volunteering, the Norbertine philosophy of self-emptying service is in abundant evidence. Local, national and international service opportunities are hallmarks of a St. Norbert education, and the college has been recognized by both the John Templeton Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation for its exemplary civic-minded programs.

From The School
Students quickly adjust to campus with a welcoming community of faculty, students and staff. First Year Experience (FYE) programming helps students acclimate to campus and to college life in general.
Students at St. Norbert tend to be very involved, and because it's a residential campus, activities and opportunities are close at hand. The college offers 9080 student organizations and clubs that provide a rich co-curricular campus environment. Students can find opportunities in academic, cultural, Greek, social, special interest, governing, media, recreation, service and faith organizations. And if students are looking for a particular interest that hasn't found its place on campus yet, they are encouraged to create a new student organization.
A Division III school, St. Norbert College offers 11 men's and 11 women's varsity sports, and our athletes have been named Academic All-Americans more times than any other school in the Midwest Conference. The Green Knights are frequent conference champions, averaging about four per year. Nearly one quarter of our students are involved in varsity sports, with many others participating in intramurals. A 23rd varsity sport, men's volleyball, will commence in the 2019-20 season.

Location
Located on the banks of the Fox River in De Pere (a residential community of 23,000) in northeastern Wisconsin, the St. Norbert campus comprises 40+ buildings on 112 scenic landscaped acres. Students also have easy access to the neighboring all-American city of Green Bay and its suburbs, with a metropolitan population of about 300,000. A safe, supportive atmosphere exists both on campus and in the surrounding community, which is frequently celebrated for its outstanding quality of life.
St. Norbert continues to experience great momentum with record-high enrollment in recent years, as well as outstanding academic achievements. And as the students come, so do the facilities and programs to support them. Recently opened is St. Norbert's $40 million Gehl-Mulva Science Center, also home to the Medical College of Wisconsin's northeast Wisconsin campus. Integrated facilities for hands-on learning, collaborative research and interdisciplinary study abound in this LEED-certified, state-of-the-art science center. Newer still is the $26 million Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center, complete with competition-grade swimming pool, opened in 2016.
The past several years have also seen the opening of the Cassandra Voss Center that focuses on women's and gender studies and programming around issues of identity, and Dudley Birder Hall, a performing-arts space; both occupy renovated, historic buildings. The food at Michels Commons has been ranked the best among all colleges in Wisconsin and 15th-best in the nation.
An outdoor athletics complex serves as the practice and competition venue for Green Knights football, soccer, and track and field. The Miriam B. and James J. Mulva library lower level is home to a high-tech collaborative workspace for students.
Among other facilities, a campus center and marina located on the Fox River offer students a relaxing environment to grab a bite to eat, sit out on the deck or in the gazebo, or gather for a concert or movie. The campus coffee shop, Ed's, is another favorite student hangout.
Only a five-minute drive from campus, Green Bay and all its restaurants, shopping malls, museums and performing arts opportunities can be easily accessed by students when they've exhausted the shops and boutiques of charming De Pere.
