Knowledge is then applied in the real world participating in collaborative hands-on research and community-based initiatives. Conducted in a live, virtual learning environment, our interdisciplinary classes prioritize critical and creative thinking communication, and teamwork skills.
Adventurous students thrive at Minerva where they spend freshman year in San Francisco before moving to new cities, including Seoul, Berlin, Hyderabad, and Buenos Aires. Through cultural immersion, students gain a global perspective and understanding needed to solve some of the world’s most pressing issues.

“Minerva is shaping the future by continuously encouraging students to get out of their comfort zone, search for a way to make this world a better place, and become a global citizen.”
"In every city, you do a work study, you’re engaged with the community, and you need to try to solve problems in that community, which is a wonderful way of learning.”
“It’s so different from just sitting in a lecture theater. You learn as you do, not learn by rote. And I have learned so much more in the past year than in any year of my life.”
