WELCOME
The EastAsia International College, founded in 2008 as a special program to develop professionals who would play leading roles in the global era of the 21st century, has become a leading center for teaching and research on East Asia. In 2021, The EastAsia International College changed to the Division of East Asian Studies after becoming part of the College of Humanities & Social Sciences Convergence.
Offering undergraduate courses exclusively in English, there are two majors (East Asian Politics and Culture / East Asian Economy and Business) for ~2021 and one major (East Asian Politics and Economy) for 2022~. During their first two years, students take basic courses in the humanities and social sciences, while intensively taking major courses in their fields in their third and fourth years. Students are also trained in East Asian languages, either Chinese, Japanese or Korean, and are active in studying abroad by participating in Yonsei University’s exchange programs.
Overall, through a distinctive educational approach that emphasizes the combination of analytical skills and substantive knowledge of one of the world’s important regions, students can successfully prepare for their future careers in public, nonprofit, and private sectors across East Asia.
Our students are a diverse group of undergraduates, most of whom have lived and studied overseas for extended periods. They are open-minded, both to Korean and non-Korean cultures, and are fluent in English, Korean and other languages. Adding to our cosmopolitan atmosphere are our professors, who are mostly from foreign countries. While conducting world-leading research and producing knowledge that can inspire new changes in East Asian society, politics and business, etc., they are determined to educate students as future leaders of East Asia.
Come join us. Here you will find the warm atmosphere of a small-size college with the sophisticated charm of the greater Yonsei University and its Mirae Campus, rushing head-on to the global world of the 21st century.
Sincerely
