All undergraduate students at Lynn University complete the core curriculum the Dialogues of Learning. A cohesive core curriculum, students take 1 class each year, for a total of 4 classes each, in 5 themes: the Dialogues of Justice and Civic Life (DJC), Dialogues of Self and Society (DSS), Dialogues of Belief and Reason (DBR), Dialogues of Quantitative Reasoning, and Dialogues of Scientific Literacy (DSL).

At the freshman and sophomore levels, students complete independent dialogues classes, such as DSL 100 and DSL 200. In their junior and senior years, students take classes in their major that carry the themes of the dialogues and therefore double count not only as classes in their major but also as dialogues classes.
