Ralph Norcio

WhyLynn

Lynn University embodies the best things about teaching. The opportunity to work with a diverse group of students with perspectives from around the globe makes for a learning environment that is always poignant in today's world. At Lynn, we are approaching the point where we can remove the redundancy of saying international business and just teach business which is by definition international. The size of the university allows for classes and advising to be individualized relationships, which are always so much more meaningful than what is experienced in a larger institution. The interaction that is possible gives the opportunity for students to learn how to ask questions based on a deep understanding of the material, rather than to simply regurgitate cookbook solutions.
