leadership skills. Policy analysis, negotiation, management, and program evaluation pertaining to international organizations, trade, diplomacy, and security, which are important tools for understanding the rapidly changing world, thus figure prominently in the curriculum. In addition, DIS is committed to applied scholarship focusing on real world problem-solving, so that its graduates will leave the program with professional expertise to excel in their chosen fields of career. With the kind of training offered by DIS, the graduates are likely to be preferred candidates for positions requiring in-depth knowledge of international commerce and cooperation, e.g., international organizations, trade organizations, consulting firms, research centers, and media firms.
Another unique aspect of the Division of International Studies at Korea University is that all of its courses are offered in English, which is quite fitting since global competence requires at least a degree of proficiency in English. This allows students to not only experience classroom settings akin to those of North America but also to develop and enrich their English skills. The all-English degree program also makes it possible for the university to accomodate internationally educated students and foreign students.
