Minerva University seeks students from around the globe who demonstrate curiosity, drive, and the potential to excel in our programs. To identify qualified candidates, Minerva has developed an admissions process that eliminates standardized testing, reduces unfair bias, and improves opportunity for all. Each applicant to a Minerva graduate program must complete three application parts, as described below.

With broadly applicable skills that can benefit any line of work, Minerva's graduate programs attract students with a diverse set of backgrounds. Current students in the MDA and CDA come from more than 18 countries across all continents, with age ranging between 23 and 60 years old. 86% of students maintain a full-time job while enrolled in their program.

With three admissions rounds, you can select the admissions time frame that works best for you. However, the earlier you submit your application, the earlier you can begin preparing for your future. If you are admitted to a Minerva graduate program, you must enroll by the enrollment deadline indicated for that round. When you enroll, you must also pay a $500 enrollment deposit, applicable towards your first tuition payment.
