Minerva’s founder Ben Nelson first conceived of what eventually became Minerva University in 1993 as a plan to reinvent the Ivy League university model to better prepare graduates for the twenty-first century. Today’s great American universities were founded on the notion of liberal arts education, the idea that a university education meant that its graduates were well prepared.

Quality education that is flexible and self -pace with LIVE sessions every 2 weeks (Friday's and Saturdays) via Google Meet. Very interactive and straightforward content materials in the LMS. Study centres has world-class learning facilities and e-library. We also have a LIVE Masters class with veterans in different industries, sharing their experiences and skills. I have already recommended the University to my colleague, he's going to register for his MBA degree next session.
Miva Open university is bridging the gap between schooling and flexibility. Miva open university highlights that while you live school life, you can also chase your careers or dreams. This flexibility has made Miva the fastest growing private university in the whole of Africa
My opinion about this university will always a be a positive one. Miva is a place where I get the freedom to school and still do other things without the unending pressure of having to run to class daily. I can log into my LMS in the middle of the night and start my self paced learning, it's that's simple. I would definitely recommend this for anyone out there looking for something that gives them the flexibility of time.
