An education built for global explorers
The role of a university education is to prepare students to thrive as leaders and innovators. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is more important than ever that students experience and engage with different cultures and backgrounds throughout college.
Minerva University is a truly global university program. Students spend their first year living in San Francisco and then travel with their classmates to a different city each subsequent semester—Seoul and Hyderabad sophomore year, Berlin and Buenos Aires during junior year, and London and Taipei during senior year. At Minerva, students don't live in an isolated campus bubble studying the world from afar. They experience it first hand, using these world-class cities as their classroom and campus.
