The Minerva University Approach

Our undergraduate program is designed to develop the leaders and problem-solvers of our future.

Global Immersion

True learning comes from participating in the world firsthand. Throughout the global rotation you will engage in rich cultural experiences, learn how to navigate new and unfamiliar contexts, develop connections with local communities, and have opportunities to immerse in challenging global programs.

Small Dialogue-Based Seminars

Every class at Minerva University is a discussion-based seminar with fewer than 21 students. Taught by faculty trained to teach for the most effective learning, your education will take both an interdisciplinary and concentrated approach.

Interdisciplinary Project-Based Learning

Knowledge developed in class is immediately applied in culturally immersive and interdisciplinary project-based opportunities around the world. Minerva University students are exposed to an abundance of experiential opportunities.

A New Kind of Classroom

Impactful
Learning

At Minerva University, technology is used as a conduit to intentionally improve the educational experience. You will never attend a class with more than 21 other students.

All of our classes take place via a virtual learning environment and are small discussion based seminars that spark dynamic, energetic, and stimulating class experiences.

A Dynamic Education

Take part in an interdisciplinary approach to learning that immerses you in the coursework and enables you to critically engage with a growing range of interesting subjects and topics.

Intimate Classes, Rigorous Learning

Collaborate in classes in which you are encouraged to engage with their peers and professors, debate your opinions, and share your views. The Minerva University environment enables you to learn more by questioning your assumptions, analyzing information, and devising solutions.

Technology as a Conduit

Move fluidly between lively discussions, breakout groups, debates, simulations, and more to enhance your understanding. You will receive individualized evaluations from engaged professors who use class time data, quiz scores, and grading to offer precise feedback.
