KU HistoryGreeting

Realizing the goalof the world’s top 100 together,We now aspire to KU’s new mission.

Greetings from Korea University! As President of KU with a strong sense of responsibility and

sincerity, I am putting forth my best efforts to make the future of KU stand tall in the world,

building upon the proud history of KU as the nation’s pride and hope.

We are now standing at a great transitional period in the history of civilization. Our average life

expectancy has been extended by more than 30 years, and the world that we live in has

become one big global community. Informatization, led by the semiconductor and computer

revolution, has dramatically changed human civilization again. Societies, organizations, and

knowledge are changing even at this very moment. Moreover, we are facing many issues

that are newly threatening humanity, along with these drastic changes.

KU is pursuing a new start with “Pioneering Intellectuals.” Established in 1905 as the nation’s

first private higher education institution, KU has embraced its heritage and history in pio-

neering the nation’s future during the Japanese occupation, emulated Inchon who built the

Library (the current Graduate School Building) by traveling all over the country to raise funds,

and followed its seniors who have led democratization and industrialization with the spirits of

liberty, justice and truth. Bearing its distinguished history in mind, KU is committed to nurtur-

ing young and passionate pioneering intellectuals who can lead the future of humanity in the

21st century.

Korea University will nurture young students not as passengers waiting for a cruise ship

ready to set sail on a pleasant and comfortable journey but as pioneers who can build their

own boats to navigate through rough and heavy seas. To this end, we will endure the ex-

cruciating pain and difficulty in the process of innovation and reformation.

KU-The Future, Pioneering Intellectuals and Innovating KU!

These banners are flying over the KU campus. Pioneering, reformations, changes, and

challenges have never been easily accomplished. We once again aim to lead the future in

a KU-fashioned way. Please join us and support the future that KU strives to pioneer. We

invite you on our journey of opening the future and making KU together. Thank you.

A Global Symbol, the First Step Towards a Global KUThe icon symbolizes KU’s global vision to enter the ranks of world’s top universities based on its century-old history and tradition.

“Shield”, Education Saves the Nation The shield symbolizes founder Yong-Ik Lee’s belief that “Education Saves the Nation”, which lead to the establishment of KU.

“Crimson”, the passion of youth Crimson symbolizes vitality and passion, embodying KU’s academic

traditions and nature.

“Tiger”, a roar that shakes the Earth. As a symbol of both Korea and KU, the tiger represents KU’s cour-

age, determination, swiftness and dignity.

“1905”, beginning of National KU 1905, the year of KU’s establishment, demonstrates KU’s 105 year tradition and depth of academic research.

School MottoThe school motto announced in celebration of KU’s 50th anniversary represents the realization of human freedom (LIBERTAS), the pursuit of justice (JUSTITIA) in society and an overflowing passion for the search for truth (VERITAS). Intellectuals in action with passionate hearts, not numb and engrossed in texts, are KU’s everlasting value; this ideal is what makes KU people true KU people.

KU TreeThe Korean pine which represents fidelity and integrity, perfectly expresses KU’s strong will to serve as a cradle for talent.

“Liberty, Justice, Truth”, what makes KU people true KU people

KU’s School SongKU’s school song, heard at nine every morning resounding from the clock tower of the College of Liberal Arts building, was announced to celebrate KU’s 50th anniversary in May 1955. The lyrics were written by Ji-Hoon Cho, a member of the famous coterie of poets called the Blue-Green Party and a KU professor at that time. The poet was also well known for the poem Seungmu (Buddhist Dance) in which every line contained liberty, justice and truth, the three words representing KU’s spirit. The music was written by Isang Yun, a promising young composer at that time.

Lyrics by Cho Ji-hoon Music by Yun Isang

1. Gaze at the edifice standing tall at the foot of Bukak Mountain. See the light spreading to the hills of Anam. The stone tower is built tall with the spirit and devotion of the people. This is the hall of liberty, justice and truth.

2. Waves of hearts longing for liberty. Conviction for justice. Burning devotion. Honoring the wishes, the ideal rises high. This is the light of liberty, justice and truth.

3. The quiet woods are the cradle of our dreams. The wide fields are the root of our power. The spirit held tight both by those entering and moving onward. This is the road of liberty, justice and truth.

Korea University, Korea University, hometown of my heart. Korea University, Korea University, shine forever.

Foresight and Courage for Transformation:KU Spirit Flourishing to Become a World Class University

KU, Sail with EnthusiasmTowards the Future Campus

Boundless Thinking and Creationπ-VilleIn September 2016, Pioneer Village (π-Ville) was established for knowledge creation. The π in π-Ville comes from the first two letters of the word ‘pio-neer’ and is written as ‘π’ to symbolize endless expansion. As expressed in its name, the village intends to become an incubator for infinite challenge, collaboration, and creation in the hopes of expanding KU’s pioneering spirits.

A University with the Greatest Trust and ExpectationsA Private University with the Most DonationsAll Korea University members remember the noble dedication of the donors who have shown their love and faith for KU. Based on their support, KU will set a good example of a global university with its innovative educational infrastructure.

Autonomy, Trust, and Responsibility Replacing Proctored Exams, Attendance Checks, and Relative GradingThe Innovative Three-No PolicyAs other prestigious global universities have done, KU has implemented an academic policy based on autonomy, trust, and responsibility. KU has made a promise to allow its students to take exams with honor instead of having proctors and to prepare for classes autonomously without check-ing attendance, and its teachers to assess students without grading them on a curve.

Academic System to Promote AutonomyImplementing a Flexible Term SystemThe flexible term system offers the freedom of choice and concentration by allowing students to design and manage their own semester flexibly. For example, a student can complete a school term in eight weeks per semester or three semesters per year. It enables the professors to con-centrate more on their research and the students to take new challenges, such as overseas internships.

Admissions System to Prioritize Potential and PossibilitiesAltering High School EducationThrough Innovating the Admissions SystemUniversity admissions have a great influence on the middle and high school education system. Therefore, it is our duty and mission to lead the nation’s farsighted educational framework for future generations. KU presents an innovative admissions system to discover strong applicants with great potential and possibilities.

A Future Space for Creativity and ImmersionSK Future Hall

Unlike traditional lecture rooms, the SK Future Hall is composed of 111 smallseminar rooms and 111 individual carrels. This space symbolizes KU’s new university education paradigm for going beyond simply receiving knowledge and discovering knowledge that can lead the future.

In September 2016, Pioneer Village ‘π-Ville’

KU Business School is committed to leading not simply Korea’s future, but also the global economy. The business school shares the full history of Korea University, beginning in 1905, and the history of the remarkable economic growth of Korea. From the infancy of the Korean economy to the present advanced economic state, KU Business School has been laying a foundation for business administra-tion studies and producing leaders in the field. With a world-class faculty, students, and curriculum, combined with robust globalization efforts, KU Business School intends to become the leading business school in Asia and enter the top 30 in the world by 2030. Its globally competitive curriculum, faculty and student exchanges with the world’s most prestigious universities and international internship programs are turning heads around the world. For the first time ever in Korea, the school was academically accredited in 2005 by the AACSB, the most renowned scholars’ group in the US. It acquired EQUIS approval, the world’s leading international accreditation for business schools, from EFMD. The school acquired renewed accreditation from both institutes in 2010, and in December 2014 succeeded in becoming the first institution in Korea to renew its five-year AACSB accreditation twice in a row. As of September 2016, the KU Business School isranked 77th in the world and the 1st in Korea in the number of papers downloaded from the SSRN. It has gained a reputation as the nation’s top business school by producing the highest number of candidates who passed the 51st CPA Examination.

The College of Liberal arts, founded in 1946, spans 15 departments. This college is leading efforts toward internationalization and globalization: Korean studies sheds light on the national culture from a unique angle, while humanities and foreign literature studies actively engage in world-class research and education. Since its foundation, the College of Liberal Arts has been not only focusing on the development of the basic humanities, including literature, philosophy and history, but also turning its eyes to applied sci-ences such as sociology and psychology. As demonstrated by KU’s installation of Chinese and Russian language and literature departments 20 years prior to the restoration of formal diplomatic relations and by KU’s initiation earlier than any other university in Korea of studies in Spanish language and literature, Japanese and Classic Chinese as well as linguistics, the college has invariably shown fore-sight in a rapidly changing world by deliberating on the values that Korean society needs to possess. The college has pioneered a ‘7+1’ program designed to develop global leaders, through which students study for a semester at one of KU’s sister universities abroad. In addition, the KU international internship program provides students with on the-job experience at well-known international organi-zations. The college has invited a large number of international students and professors and conducts numerous classes in foreign languages, thus establishing an international learning environment.

With the aim of nurturing future-oriented, creative and talented individuals, the College of Engi-neering has instructed around 20,000 students since 1963. This college has played a significant role in bringing Korean engineering education and industry up to the standards of advanced na-tions. In the new information and knowledge era of the 21st century, the college is accelerat-ing its efforts to nurture science and technology leaders who will enhance Korea’s international competitiveness.Possessing the far-looking vision that engineering education is closely related to industry, re-search bodies and government policy, the college established in 1996 for the first time in Korea the Korea Techno Complex to promote research cooperation between academia and industry. All this creates a hub for high tech research in Korea. By providing nearly 3.5 hectares of research labs on campus to large firms and venture compa-nies, the college offers its students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with practicing engineers. In addition, the college works with 16 other R&D centers at KU and has been awarded large-scale government-sponsored projects including through BK21. As a government-designated graduate-school-led institution of higher education, the college produces almost 1,000 engineers and scientists a year who are expected to lead the knowledge-based industry of Korea.

The College of Education was established in 1972 on the basis of Korea University’s educational objective “to deepen the character of knowledge (ci), virtue (tek) and physical health (chey), inculcate creative academic research and professional practice skills, and foster open-minded leadership, and thereby contribute to Korea and the global community.” The college consists of eight academic depart-ments with the explicit goal of cultivating creative global education experts possessing both personal-ity and intelligence. It has consecutively received the highest ranking with outstanding evaluations for excellence among all Korean education colleges by the Ministry of Education.The College of Education provides both a Kongseonsahuwon study room and a group study seminar room for the national teacher qualification examination and houses an estimated 1,600 text books in the textbook reference room to help students realize their goal of becoming teachers. It also offers a satowen study room solely for students who are preparing for national administrative exams to become education administrative experts.Moreover, to nurture education experts by instilling global competencies and experiences in various educational environments, the College of Education has signed an agreement with the Federal Way Education Association to allow students to practice their teaching as student teachers in affiliated middle and high schools. The college offers various opportunities including but not limited to the Into the World Challenge program where students can benchmark renowned overseas education institutes and trainee programs in overseas Korean schools and practice their teaching skills over a 4-week period. It also provides scholarships to students to support their participation in these beneficial pro-grams.In addition, in order to engage in advanced and creative research activities regarding Korean educa-tion policies and education developments, the college hosts eleven research institutes, including the Education Research Institute and the BK21Plus (Edu-hub in Asia) program, that yield many excellent research accomplishments.

Based on the principles of freedom, justice, and truth, the College of Medicine aims to cultivate outstanding doctors who protect human dignity and health, realize social justice, and explore the truth of learning.With the completion of the Moonsook Medical Center on March 2014 following the completion of the main medical center in 2012, the College of Medicine has become the nation’s leading educational institution of medicine, equipped with the best learning environment and facilities, specialized research infrastructure, and an excellent education system. It provides state-of-the-art education through the nation’s only exclusive teaching and learning support center for the College of Medicine. It has also produced monumental research achievements in the history of medicine, such as the development of the world’s first Epidemic Hemorrhagic Fever vaccine.

Since its establishment in 2002, the Division of International Studies has been devoted to nurturing world-class global leaders. It is currently establishing itself as Korea’s leading col-lege. In 2014, it was ranked 1st in Korea and 26th in the world by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), a famous British higher education evaluation agency, in July 2012; and 2nd in Korea by the U.S. News & Report, a prestigious American university evaluation system. The faculty, comprised of 18 full-time professors, visiting professors and part-time lectur-ers, is unrivalled by any standard – including SSCI paper publication and lecture evaluation. If education in international studies has been focused on interdisciplinary studies concerning language proficiency and global mindsets, the next wave of education needs to concentrate on cultivating strategic professionals with concrete problem-solving abilities with regard to global climate change, terrorism and multinational corporations as well as enhancing second and third foreign language proficiencies.To this end, the Division of International Studies has designed an educational system to foster expertise in the following five fields: international development and cooperation, international commerce, international peace and security, regional studies, and Korean studies. In addition, to provide the opportunity to obtain practical experience, it established a close cooperative relationship with external organizations. In 2010, the Division of International Studies brought the UNDP Seoul Policy Center, a global network of the UN, into the KU International Studies Hall. In 2014, it founded the EU Center in collaboration with the KIEP and SBS. With climate change being one of the major perennial global issues, the Division hosts the Model United Nations Climate Change Conference . It also hosts the English Debate Championship and Model UN Competition as extracurricular student club activities, enabling it to take pride in being the foremost in Korea in terms of academics and scale. It is also actively conducting courtesy training necessary for graduates advancing to international organizations, and providing various international internship op-portunities in cooperation with international organizations such as the IAEA.

The department of art education under the College of Education, established in 1989, wasrestructured in 2000 into four departments (oriental painting, western painting, sculpture,and industrial design) of the School of Art and later into two departments (fine art andindustrial design) in 2007.

The School of Media and Communication, which originated from the nation’s first Department of Mass Communication established in 1965, opened a new chapter in history by restructuring its curriculum in order to provide global media education befitting the changing age of media. It aims to nurture students who are capable of synthesizing wide-ranging and complex issues in media and communication with a balanced perspective and addressing the issues in an efficient way based on creative thinking and knowledge of data science. The school has become a leading training center for those in the media industry of Korea, produc-ing a host of journalists and professors in media and communication studies. Media Hall, built in 2011, is one of the major educational facilities where the school provides a comprehensive educa-tional environment encompassing the areas of broadcasting, newspaper, online communication, advertising, and PR through the integrated media education system. The school has a balanced focus on theory and practice, offering basic courses such as “Intro-duction to Media Studies” and “Introduction to Media Data Science”, as well as practical classes such as “Drama Production,” “Multimedia Reporting,” “Journalism Writing,” and “Advertising Campaigns.”

The College of Global Business was formed in 2017 by combining the College of Humanities and the College of Business & Economics at the Sejong Campus. The world’s progress can be viewed largely in terms of three regions: the Anglosphere, China, and Germany. Against this backdrop, the College of Global Business seeks to nurture business leaders who possess basic knowledge in Korean studies, British and American studies, Chinese studies and German studies. In doing business in the age of globalization, a key to success is having a good understanding of foreign cultures. In order to understand foreign cultures, we must first understand our own culture and become aware of the differences. Attaining success in business would be difficult without education in the humanities. Korea University is taking the initiative to create a new paradigm in business by integrating regional studies. The College of Global Business has been designed to embrace risks and to challenge tradition so as to adapt to a constantly changing business environment. With state-of-the-art facilities made possible by a generous donation from Samchully, outstanding faculty, and highly qualified studentswith CPA licenses, the college has a strong foundation for further success.

The School of Interdisciplinary Studies was founded in 2009 to train students who wish to be civic leaders or enter law school. Modern society requires not merely in-depth knowledge in one specific area, but also generalized knowledge traversing a number of different fields. In order to keep pace with this trend in society, the school offers a multidisciplinary course comprised of varied subjects spanning disciplines.At this school, students are able to design their own majors based on their aptitudes or future ca-reer goals. Students who seek to become public leaders are required to possess legal knowledge and encouraged to build area-specific knowledge and solid character.This school, as the former College of Law, produced a great number of social and national leaders who succeeded at national exams. Since the school retains the knowhow that made this possible, it is the best choice for those who aspire to become public servants. Because the full faculty of the KU Law School teaches here as well, this school is also the ideal home for students who aim to engage in legal practice.
