MINI TERM

Embracing Adventure: Mini-term is a unique and exciting component of the Bentley experience and is a highly-valued time in our community when students slow down and engage deeply in an area of interest.

The goal of the one-week Mini-term experience is for students to expand their ways of learning, to take risks by experiencing something new, and to challenge their ways of thinking through experiential and creative learning. 

Students pose questions and explore answers in order to have a personally meaningful experience while also learning to collaborate, to consider multiple perspectives, and to develop practical, relevant, and applicable skills. During this time, students come to better understand themselves as learners, which becomes the basis for future learning and prepares students to approach their year-long courses with fresh perspectives.
