Pragmatic Liberal Arts: Applied knowledge is at the core of Minerva’s curriculum. Every class is a small seminar centered on intensive discussion and debate. Minerva students develop critical and creative thinking skills through active learning, not memorization and lectures.

Real-world Experience: Every student receives life-long career support. We work to help students define their passions, curate networks for internships and jobs, and build career skills to excel in the professional world. Students have interned at companies such as Accenture, Apple, Amazon, CNN Global, Google, Mistletoe, United Nations, Siemens, Twitter, and many more. 

Global Understanding: Minerva students do not merely study diverse cultures, they experience them firsthand, living in up to seven uniquely significant cities around the world during their four years. Learning transcends the classroom, as with each new location, curated partnerships give students first-hand experience applying the concepts they learn in class to a variety of real world contexts and situations.

Accessibility: Our application is completely free to enable anyone who is interested with the opportunity to apply. Additionally, Minerva offers need-based financial aid to help all admitted students to attend, including international students. Regular Decision applications are open until January 15.
