DE PERE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Students at St. Norbert College may soon have access to new majors, concentrations and an MBA program.
Pending approval by the Higher Learning Commission, SNC plans to launch the additions in fall 2026. Officials say the new offerings “reflect the college’s commitment to academic innovation, faculty leadership and alignment with student interest and workforce demand.”
New majors and program:
- Sacred music
- Digital marketing
- Cybersecurity management
- Exercise science
- 4+1 MBA program
New concentrations within the communication and media studies major:
- Journalism
- Professional communication
- Sports media
- Public image and promotion
SNC said the goal of these new offerings is to enhance students’ job market readiness by giving them hands-on learning experiences that align with in-demand industries.
“These additions demonstrate our commitment to preparing students for meaningful lives and impactful careers,” said President Laurie Joyner in a news release. “They reflect confidence in our faculty, who are leading these efforts, and our dedication to serving students through academic innovation.”
Anindo Choudhury, interim vice president and chief academic officer, added, “The new programs build on St. Norbert College’s strengths while addressing the needs of today’s students and employers.”
