Lincoln University
林肯大学
林肯大学创建于1878年，曾作为坎特伯雷农业学院和坎特伯雷大学林肯分院，提供自学士至博士研究的全方位课程教学。1990年，作为新西兰高等教育改革的重要环节，林肯大学被教育部授予自主办学权，并根据其历年学术研究成果，很快成为享有崇高国际声望的一流高等学府。
林肯大学为新西兰八所国立大学之一，坐落于美丽的坎特伯雷平原。距离新西兰南岛的第一大城市（基督城）20公里，乘坐校区公车仅需20分钟直达市区。地理环境优越，其田园风光令人流连忘返。校园所在的林肯镇，为国际知名的农牧业研究基地，也是“国际羊毛研究中心”的所在地。社区文化淳朴，生活设施齐全。
创校120余年来，林肯大学不断完善，从开始时期的农牧业研究学院，逐步发展成为一所以商业、管理科学、自然资源研究、计算机科学、社会科学和基因工程科学见长的国内外知名学府。大学历年的研究成果突出；与世界各知名院校建立了稳定的合作体系；注重学生个人技能和专业知识的综合教学，以激发学生学习潜力。近年来，林肯大学吸收海外学生的数量均为新西兰八所大学之首。
Lincoln University， located in California，s San Francisco Bay Area， in Oakland， is unique among American universities and colleges. It is approved by the state of California and the United States government， and accredited by the ACICS， but its student body is 98 percent comprised of foreign students representing 49 countries； over 85 percent of these come from the Pacific Rim.
Hence， its professors are broadly experienced in interacting， in a multicultural sense， with a wide variety of student，s from differing cultures. Every teaching day provides them with opportunities to recognize and respond to a different student，s differing needs and problems.
A Lincoln University education， therefore， tends to be personalizedpersonalize v.使成私人的， 人格化. The university is a smaller one， and so are the classes； they range from 10～25 students per class. This also facilitates a kind of oneonone monitoring for the professor， who can regularly gaugegauge n.标准尺， 规格， 量规， 量表 v.测量 each student，s progress and can intervene if a problem is sensed. The university，s professors are not distant from their students and they are always accessible.
The above commentary fully applies to Lincoln，s MBA program. The university emphatically does not encourage students to think of the MBA degree as a glorified bachelor，s degree. This greatly influences the direction of the curriculum and the content of the courses.
Moreover， it finds its way into the classroom teaching exegesis where theory is bent to serve practical objectives. Models may be theoretical， but cases and minicases and other realworld representations point to reality. The student， then， where such applied concepts are thus given verisimilitude， finds solutions to problems and identifies with a reality in which he can expect to function.
As one looks at Lincoln University，s corecourse requirements in its catalogcatalog n.目录，目录册 v.编目录， one sees these required courses as different topical areas. But the very purpose of such differences is to open and widen the student，s grasp of businessworld reality， beyond and in addition to his narrower specialization and experiences. Further flexibility is made available to the student in those courses that come after the core courses are completed.
Lincoln University，s programs including the MBA Program， when adapted for instruction in Asia or Europe， for example， will have the same core requirements， but the remaining courses， where necessary， are arranged to suit the needs of those requesting the program.
In the program，s ending course， the MBA Research Project， the student is enabled to draw fromdraw from ［draw out of］ 使……说出(真相等) both concepts in courses as well as from personal experience， to demonstrate his or her learning， growth， and level of readiness for managerialmanagerial adj.管理的 responsibility. The successfully completed project， then， is the evidence of the value of creating an environment in which the student， although perhaps not an American， is comfortable with those who instruct at Lincoln University and who encourage a practical investigation of business problems and their possible solutions.
