Do other schools have programs like Mini-Term?

Yes but not quite like Bentley’s Mini-Term. Some schools have experiential trips or service learning trips, but not as in-depth or comprehensive as the week-long Mini-Term. Bentley’s Mini-Term stands out because it fully integrates hands-on, real-world learning into its academic philosophy, which is heavily built on constructivism. The program is also unique for providing a broad spectrum of opportunities, from scientific research and creative expression to historical exploration. Each year the venue and activities change and a whole new field of interest can be explored. All of this makes Bentley’s Mini-Term a truly transformative learning experience unlike any other.
