iPad-Enabled Online Degree Program
"With new tools for learning, less overhead, and more flexibility for faculty members, we are able to revisit old assumptions about pricing models," says Lynn University President Kevin M. Ross. "Our new online degree program is a mobile ecosystem delivered through the iPad, iTunes U, and iBooks, and it addresses the pressing issues of accessibility, cost, and quality."
Students who have work, family, and other obligations will now have flexibility in how they earn their bachelor's degree. The new program offers accelerated eight-week terms, easy transfer of college and work experience credits, and a highly individualized experience with academic advising and professional coaching services. SAT/ACT scores are not required.
Lynn's iPad-enabled curriculum provides mobile access to rich interactive content for busy adults and professionals. Lynn has been utilizing the iPad ecosystem with daytime students since fall 2013 and has seen increased engagement from students enrolled in those courses. In recent surveys, 99 percent of students and 97 percent of faculty reported that the iPad ecosystem significantly enhanced the learning experience. The university has been honored as an Apple Distinguished School, CIO 100 award recipient and winner of the Association of College and University Telecommunications Administrators (ACUTA) Institutional Excellence in Information Technology Award.
