Whatever subject you choose to study at UNYP, you will benefit from the university's commitment to providing the highest quality teaching for all its students. UNYP faculty members are all graduates of the finest universities in the US and Europe and are

carefully selected so as to reflect the academic and work experience of diverse backgrounds, and in alignment with UNYP's philosophy of establishing and maintaining the highest quality academic programs. This is borne out by the quality of our Academic Department Chairs.

The average class size at UNYP is 23 students. With a small teacher to student ratio, teachers not only know your name, but make sure you get the attention in the classroom that you need. UNYP instructors help and spend time with students on an individual basis, both in class and during consultation hours. Small classes also mean that you'll experience more in the class than just listening to lectures. You'll be able to express opinions, clarify issues and present your coursework in a positive classroom atmosphere. This encourages open dialogue which enhances academic and intellectual growth. Another advantage of UNYP is studying in English. This gives you more confidence with your English communication skills, and you will also improve your English technical jargon. This is essential as English is the international business language.

Experience the rewards of an American model of education

Studying according to the American model of education means you are exposed to the areas of knowledge that characterize a broadly educated person, and develops both your global perspective, and an understanding of the traditions and complexities of a democratic society.

In addition, the American education places emphasis on critical thinking and developing your ability in effective expression, systematic inquiry, computer information

literacy and ethical reflection, skills and attributes so necessary in a fast-evolving and highly diverse world. One of the reasons that the American educational method is so valuable and widely recognized around the world is because of the style of teaching, learning, and research used in American universities. The American educational system is different from the European model. The American model requires you to take introductory courses in many fields during their first two years. This enables you to gain a thorough grounding in many subjects before concentrating on your major area of studies. A key advantage of the American model of education is that class discussions and assignments are designed to develop your critical

thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are essential for effective decision making and leadership. By developing these skills, you are better prepared for high positions in business and society. Other advantages of the American model include a focus on group work and class presentations. Group work teaches you how to succeed in varying team dynamics, an important corporate concept. And classpresentations develop your confidence and public speaking skills, which is essential for tomorrow's leaders.
