Educational boundaries between disciplines and traditional major areas of study are merging to meet the multidisciplinary and multicultural needs of life in a global society. And global information networks are gradually tearing down technological boundaries that once separated the rich nations from the poor.
Dramatic changes in the educational landscape are spurring greater cooperation and competition among universities than ever before, to the ultimate benefit of students and scholars everywhere.
Korea University embraces the challenges of the 21st Century by building new bridges across old boundaries. These bridges include new educational programs that stress multiple majors and interdisciplinary studies; strategic partnerships with private and public R&D centers that pool resources and promote innovative research; and new international relationships that bring Korea University students together with students, faculty and programs of other leading universities around the world. Aggressive investments in new research facilities, information systems and infrastructure give these bridges the strength and flexibility to extend far into the next century.

All of these bridges point to a single
destination -achieving the University mission of educating
"intellectuals in action." By "intellectuals in action"
I mean men and women imbued with superior knowledge
and the moral courage to put their intellectual skills
to work in the search for lasting solutions to real
problems. In a world of constant change, no institution
can thrive by simply maintaining the status quo. Our
efforts to move beyond the already strong reputation
of our University reflects a 95-year tradition of
ceaseless endeavor and reinvention. |
This homepage is intended as an introduction to Korea
University. It would be impossible to compress in
these few pages a thorough tour of the University.
What is presented here is a "sampling" of the departments,
projects and personalities that make Korea University
a unique and dynamic educational institution. Those
readers who want to learn more about Korea University
can do so by contacting the Office of University Communications
or the Office of International Affairs.
