Resources and information to help you understand Minerva, support your student, and stay connected throughout their journey.
Minerva University offers a different approach to higher education, focused on how students think, learn, and apply knowledge in real-world contexts. The admissions process is designed to evaluate intellectual curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and potential, rather than standardized test scores.
Students come from more than 100 countries and are selected through a holistic process that considers their academic background, achievements, and approach to problem solving.
Minerva provides resources to support students academically, professionally, and personally throughout their experience.
Students have access to:
Academic Advising

Ongoing student health, safety, and wellbeing are central to Minerva’s global model. Each student’s city experience every semester is supported by local staff, structured protocols, and resources designed to help students navigate new environments with confidence.
Before students depart, Minerva provides pre-departure guidance and orientation to help them prepare for living and learning in a new city. Upon arrival, students participate in a three-day mandatory local orientation program (“Elevation”) that introduces city-specific resources, student community and experiential programming, community expectations and opportunities, health services including local doctor, hospital and mandatory health insurance usage, local transportation protocols and advice, visa management and city safety guidance.
Across all locations, students have access to:
Students also receive guidance tailored to each city (both in-person and via Minerva’s student intranet), including key information about local neighborhoods, transportation, healthcare access, emergency procedures, and cultural context, as well as access to highly localized and personalized experiential programming, including Civic Projects, City Experiences and volunteer activities.
Minerva maintains comprehensive emergency management processes across all global locations and regularly updates protocols and guidance to support student wellbeing. All students must register for and install Aerogami for on-site/localized resources and emergency communications with the local Student Life team; in addition, Minerva maintains detailed Emergency Management Plans and Crisis Management Plans for all operational rotation locations, which are made available to students, faculty and staff alike.
Emergency Resources:
Students in rotation cities receive city-specific emergency contact information during orientation and through Minerva’s student platform.
