Overview / About the Program / More Information / Apply Now
standing proud. . .from Yonsei, out to the world
Location
The student body is comprised of about thirty-eight thousands students in 17 undergraduate colleges, 15 graduate schools and 4 international programs. The city of Seoul is known for its nightlife and is packed with coffee shops, restaurants, and clubs. On the other hand, Yonsei University, while still in Seoul, is described as being very spacious and relaxing with many parks to stroll through. It's the best of both worlds in one location. top
Academic Program
This program provides an opportunity for SCSU students to take courses as a part of Yonsei University, provided that they meet all prerequisites of a particular course and it will be based on course availability at the time of registration. All exchange students must maintain their full-time student status by taking 12-15 credit hours per semester. They offer many classes in English and a fabulous opportunity to learn about the Korean culture and language.
There will be no requirement of previous Korean language knowledge; however, students are required to take beginning or intermediate Korean language courses as part of the exchange program. In addition, SCSU students will register in other courses taught in English by foreign professors. top
