    Mini-Term

    academic spotlight

    Mini-term is a unique and exciting component of the Bentley experience. It is a highly-valued time in our community when students slow down and engage deeply in an area of interest to expand their ways of learning, take risks by experiencing something new, and challenge their ways of thinking through experiential and creative learning.
