Whats new at Lynn University

When I met in October with the Lynn University admissions rep, Paul McPhee, I wanted to know what had changed since I had visited Lynn in November 2013. Here are some of the highlights:

•          An international business center opened.
•          A new dorm for upper classmen will be complete by the end of this school year
•          A new University Center will be opening in the 2018-2019.
•          Every student gets an iPad Pro
•          Faculty-authored e-books offer cost savings and are tailored to Lynn’s courses
•          Lynn signed a partnership with General Assembly.  Initially 9 students will go to San Francisco for a 10-week IT boot camp followed by a 6-week internship in the San Francisco area.
•         The freshman class will be growing from 680 to 700 students.

So what is the typical Lynn student like?

•          Students come from over 100 countries and most US states.
•         NJ is the 3^rd biggest state that sends students to Lynn.
•          25% are international students
•          20% have learning differences
•          Most were B/B- high school students
•          44% apply test optional
•          45% are business majors.
