Global Korean Studies connects Korean Studies within and beyond Korea by pursuing an interdisciplinary study of Korea that develops in close relationship with the world. The Global Korean Studies major at Sogang is the only Korean Studies major in Korea that provides an interdisciplinary education that enables students to acquire and produce knowledge about Korea through humanities, social sciences and data science approaches. Students grow into global connectors between Korea and the world by learning knowledge about Korea that the world has and producing knowledge about Korea that the world needs.
