| History |
|
The school first opened in 1962 as Marymount College, a women’s junior college founded by the religious order of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM). In 1971, a period of transition began, and the school was placed under the control of a lay board. At that time, Dr. Donald E. Ross was named president.
In 1974, the name of the school was formally changed to the College of Boca Raton. Following a period of sustained growth, the college was granted SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) accreditation at Level II in 1986. Shortly after, in 1988, it was granted accreditation at Level III. In less than 20 years, it was transformed from a two-year school to a four-year college with an accredited master’s program.
The College of Boca Raton officially became Lynn University in 1991 to reflect the increasing global nature of its mission, to demonstrate the growth of its programs as well as its academic accreditation and to honor the Lynn family, distinguished benefactors.
During the 1998-1999 academic year, its 36th year of existence, the university was approved for candidacy as a Level V doctoral granting institution. Today, in addition to bachelor's and master's degrees, it offers a Ph.D. in Global Leadership with specializations in Educational Leadership and Corporate and Organizational Management.
