DE PERE (NBC 26) — St. Norbert College is expanding its academic offerings, announcing plans to introduce four new majors, a “4+1” Master of Business Administration program, and fresh concentrations for existing degrees beginning in fall 2026.

New Majors for 2026

The new majors include:

  • Sacred Music
  • Digital Marketing
  • Cybersecurity
  • Exercise Science

Expanded Communication & Media Studies Tracks

Within its Communication and Media Studies major, the college will add new concentrations in:

  • Journalism
  • Professional Communication
  • Sports Media
  • Public Image and Promotion

Following Cuts Earlier This Year

The announcement comes months after Saint Norbert College cut 15 majors and eliminated 27 faculty positions as part of a cost-saving restructuring effort. College officials note none of the four new majors were among those previously cut.

Boosting Career Pathways

The “4+1” MBA program will allow students to complete both an undergraduate degree and a master’s degree in business administration in five years — aimed at accelerating graduates’ entry into the job market with advanced credentials.

NBC26 will continue to follow developments as Saint Norbert prepares these changes for the 2026 academic year.
