Minerva University
“Nurturing critical wisdom for the sake of the world.”
About Minerva University
Minerva University is a global institution that has completely reimagined higher education. There are no lectures — all classes happen on the proprietary Forum platform in live, fully active seminars of no more than 18 students. Professors are trained as facilitators and cannot lecture for more than 4 minutes. Students live in 7 different cities across 4 years (San Francisco, Seoul, Hyderabad, Berlin, Buenos Aires, London, Taipei), applying what they learn to each city's context. The curriculum is organized around 'Habits of Mind' and 'Foundational Concepts' that transcend disciplines. Assessment is continuous and real-time, tracked by the platform.
“The world needs critical wisdom, not just knowledge.”
