Most of courses are taught in Korean, but a variety of courses
are offered in English. The list of courses taught in English will
be available one or two months prior to each semester. The list
will be sent to all accepted exchange students by Email withinstructions on course registration. Exchange students can takeup to 18 academic credits per semester. If students would liketo learn Korean Language, they could participate in the Korean
Language Program during the semester with discounted price.
All our courses are credit-bearing courses and are
acknowledged at most university and institutions. However, it
is better that students consult academic officials at their home
universities about credit transfer prior to the program begins.
It is students’ responsibility to consult properly, and it is theirhome university’s authority to decide on the credit transfer.
