| The Division of International Studies
(DIS) at Korea University was established in 2002 with
the aim of cultivating individuals ready for the challenges
of globalization. Globalization not only calls for people
with analytical skills, flexibility, and communication
proficiency but also demands the training of specialists
who can respond effectively to the increasing complexities
of international commerce and relations as well to the
diversity of different cultures and societies. In view
of this, DIS has developed a curriculum that offers a
wide range of interdisciplinary courses on international
cooperation and commerce as well as area studies, all
of which are designed to help students develop analytical
and 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 accommodate internationally educated
students and foreign students.
