Frequently asked questions
When did Lynn purchase DMAC?
Lynn University signed an asset purchase agreement with Digital Media Arts College (DMAC) in Fall 2017. DMAC was integrated into Lynn’s College of International Communication to become the Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn College of Communication and Design.
The combined curriculum blends hands-on practice in design and media to cultivate innovative thinkers and career-oriented creators. Programs include graphic and web design, game art, animation, visual effects, advertising, public relations, multimedia journalism, and film and television.
Why was this a good move for Lynn and DMAC?
The programs previously offered at DMAC are being integrated with similar Lynn University programs to provide both theory and hands-on technology instruction to better prepare students for employment in a quickly changing market. The agreement also affords Lynn University the opportunity to add new programs, faculty, technology and facilities.
DMAC students will gain access to additional academic majors and enhanced student services on Lynn’s campus including university housing, dining, career center, health and wellness facilities and recreation.
Will classes transition from the Design and Media Arts Center to Lynn's main campus?
Yes. Based on feedback from students, faculty and parents following Lynn’s acquisition of Digital Media Arts College, the university will be implementing changes to further enhance our integration.

Will the College of Communication and Design make changes to the course schedule?
Yes. All on-campus undergraduate programs in communication and design will be offered in 15-week terms beginning Aug. 27.
How will the transition to 15-week terms benefit students?
College of Communication and Design faculty have requested that on-campus undergraduate courses follow Lynn’s 15-week schedule because it will provide easier scheduling and more access to non-major courses. Students will take more courses simultaneously, and they’ll have twice as long to complete their work. This approach leads to more immersion into the subject and ultimately better learning.

Yes, Lynn will continue to offer 7- and 8-week terms for graduate and online undergraduate courses where the curriculum works well with accelerated terms.
When will the transition occur?
