Mission Statement
St. Norbert College is a Catholic liberal arts college embracing the Norbertine
tradition of community and is committed to providing an educational environment
that is intellectually, spiritually and personally challenging.
Consistent with our set of core values, students will develop skills in critical and
analytical thought, quantification, synthesis, problem solving and communication,
and will learn to apply these as responsible citizens of a diverse, interdependent,
changing world. Students will identify, test and strengthen their moral convictions,
act with personal integrity, develop meaningful personal goals and build
relationships based on mutual respect.
