Admission Process
Merit-based Admissions
Our unique admissions process reduces unfair biases and, instead, focuses on who you are, how you think, and what you have achieved.
At Minerva, there are no standardized test requirements (e.g. GRE, GMAT, or TOEFL) as these measures fail to accurately represent a students’ true academic and leadership potential. Instead, our merit-based approach seeks qualified students who will benefit from, and contribute to, their graduate experience.
Minerva admissions does not have enrollment caps or quotas of any kind, so you are not competing with other applicants for limited, pre-selected spots. Regardless of where you come from, if you demonstrate the curiosity, drive, and potential to excel, you will be offered admission.
how to apply
Part One
Application
Complete a short online form with basic information including your academic history and employment status. We also require your academic transcript(s) and a CV or resume.
Part Two
Challenges
You will complete two unique challenges to measure how you think. The Challenges will take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Part Three
Interview (invitation only)
Select candidates will be invited for an interview. These interviews will be conducted online on a rolling schedule dependent on the evaluation of submitted materials.
Evaluation
We will evaluate candidacy for the program based on demonstrated initiative; analytical skills, including quantitative and computer literacy; creative thinking and communication skills; and academic and professional accomplishments. After review of candidate qualifications and a round of interviews, a select group will be invited to attend.
