What Makes
Bennett College So Different?
Bennett College has dismantled the traditional 16-week semester model to implement a radical Minimester Model. This helps to limit the cognitive load for our students and make academics more accessible. To learn more about the Minimester Model and why smallness is our strength, check out this interview from President Walsh!
What is a Minimester?
Instead of semesters, Bennett College students have 3 Minimesters.
MM1
Minimester 1:
2 weeks for introductory courses or an intensive 3-credit hour class.
MM2
Minimester 2:
7 weeks for 3-credit hour classes.
MM3
Minimester 3:
7 weeks for 3-credit hour classes.
