Can This ‘Online Ivy’ University Change the Face of Higher Education?

Traditionally, for-profit colleges have operated on the lowest rungs of America’s educational ladder, catering to poor and lower-middle-class students looking for a basic, convenient degree or technical training. Aspiring Ivy Leaguers have remained far out of the industry’s sites.

That is, until now.

This week, the Minerva Project, a startup online university, announced that it had received $25 million in seed financing from Benchmark Capital, a major Silicon Valley venture capital firm known for its early investments in eBay, among other successful web companies. Minerva bills itself as “the first elite American university to be launched in a century,” and promises to re-envision higher education for the information age. The chairman of its advisory board: Larry Summers, the former treasury secretary and Harvard president. Among others, he’s joined on the board by Bob Kerry, the former United States senator and president of The New School.

A for-profit school trying to elbow its way into the top tier of American universities could certainly do worse for a pedigree. (Could the fact that both Summers and Kerry had rocky tenures as university presidents have anything to do with their enthusiasm for this project? I dare not speculate.) But what makes Minerva interesting isn’t the possibility that one day it might displace Harvard, Yale, or even Cornell in the hearts of American undergraduates. It probably won’t. Rather, it’s what the school might show us about the state of the global education market, and how the United States might be able to turn its reputation for pedagogical excellence into a high-tech export industry.
