According to the Atlantic Monthly, the annual tuition and accommodation fee is about $28,000, which is far lower than that of the Ivy League schools. KGI Minerva School, 20 13, appeared in front of everyone with the appearance of "subverting tradition". This new university form has broken the limitation of classrooms and boundaries through online education.

Minerva students need to do a lot of homework before entering school, and all Minerva curriculum requirements will start directly from the junior year of traditional universities. All freshmen take four more rigorous advanced courses in the first year.

According to its founder Ben Nelson, Minerva has only 15 to 19 students in each class. Everyone videos online, and every student will show it on the screen. Students actively participate in the study of classroom materials, not just listening to the professor. A professor should not speak for more than 4 minutes at a time in class.

Minerva students will live and study in different cities in the world every semester for four years, including San Francisco (the first year), Mumbai, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, China, Sydney, Australia, London, England and Cape Town, South Africa.
