Overview
Overview:
Minerva offers an innovative undergraduate program that combines four years of world travel with rigorous, interdisciplinary study. Together with a diverse group of intellectually-curious, international students, you will prepare for success in the dynamic, global future.
At Minerva you will live and learn in seven distinct cultures during your four years of study. Even the most adventurous students at typical universities are limited to exploring the area directly surrounding campus and spending only a single semester abroad. Our immersive global experience gives you insight into the complexity of the people and cultures of the world.
At Minerva you will experience the world and learn the skills needed to change it. By inspiring you to explore broadly, while gaining deep mastery in your chosen field, the Minerva curriculum helps you develop the diverse knowledge and practical skills that will enable you to address the complex issues facing our planet.
Each semester builds on the previous one and every course offered is seminal — core to one of the majors, with interconnected subjects that span disciplines. Whether pursuing a single undergraduate degree, a double major or double concentration, or furthering your education with the concurrent Master’s in Applied Arts & Sciences, you will be challenged and inspired throughout your learning experience.

Spud’s Thoughts:
I don’t personally know anyone who has gone through this program, but they’ve popped across my radar a few times. When they were getting started, they generated a lot of buzz as they attempted to create a new model of higher education and started to recruit some faculty and deans from Ivy Schools across the US. I don’t know much about how the program has been going or what students think of it, but it’s something interested to look into.
