St. Norbert College (SNC) is a private Norbertine liberal arts college in De Pere, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in October 1898 by Abbot Bernard Pennings, a Norbertine priest and educator, the school was named after Saint Norbert of Xanten. In 1952, the college became coeducational. As of April 2023, the school's enrollment is 2,009 students.

This small Catholic liberal arts college in De Pere is a genuine fit for students who want a tight-knit campus community without the pressure of a highly selective admissions process — a 92% acceptance rate means most applicants get in. The financial picture is reasonable, with median debt at graduation around $21,500, though the 74% graduation rate suggests roughly 1 in 4 students don't finish, which is worth asking the school about directly. Worth considering if you value small class sizes and a values-driven environment, but visit first — at under 1,800 students, the campus culture will either feel like home or too small very quickly.
