CEO Ben Nelson then continued to introduce Minerva School. "The Minerva School is open to students through our own computer program on humanities, management, computer science, natural science, social science, and art," CEO Ben Nelson said. "Many people are paying attention to the unconventional education of Minerva School, which differentiates itself from other universities."

Minerva School, meanwhile, is an online university established in 2012 with an investment of 100 billion won, a so-called "startup" of the university community. 100% online classes are conducted on education subjects such as arts, humanities, natural sciences and business administration, and students stay in seven cities around the world, including the U.S. (San Francisco), Britain (London), Germany (Berlin), India (Hyderabad), Taiwan (Taipei), and Korea (Seoul) for three to six months to gain experience. The Minerva School, which opened in 2014, became a hot topic as students who passed the prestigious universities in Korea, including Seoul National University, are known to have given up their admission and chosen to enter Minerva School. All classes are only conducted online at 100%. Minerva School has been holding presentations on the methods of education of Minerva schools in prestigious universities such as Harvard University, Kyoto University and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology over the past few years with the aim of creating a better collective future through leadership, innovation and problem solving.
