College of Humanities
 
Humanism is the study of the knowledge and wisdom necessary to build a better society based on passion for humanity and culture. Culture is like a flower blooming upon humanity and the College of Humanities is a learning organization to study humanity in a broad sense. Culture created by knowledge and information is the core code of 21st century society. While culture up to this point has been enjoyed as leisure, culture in modern society has become both a product and asset. The cultural industry era has finally arrived.

In the College of Humanities, we cultivate the talent that will lead the globalization of Korean Studies as well as the development of our national culture based on the Korea University's national school tradition and the accumulated experience of the Sejong Campus for the last 25 years. We also work hard to develop our unique cultural contents necessary for our times. Toward that end, we are strengthening foreign language education, and at the same time, diversifying our liberal arts courses and opening major courses more widely so that each student can choose programs that meet his or her needs.

Graduates of the College of Humanities are valued for their ability in various fields such as communication, research firms, and business enterprises. Their desirability derives not simply from Korea University's reputation but rather from the combination of its distinguished faculty, of whom the College of Humanities is proud, student passion toward liberty, justice, and truth, and strong trust and compassion between faculty and students. All of the above are integrated and driven to the cultivation of talent. The College of Humanities will not rest with today's accolades and accomplishments but will work harder for the globalization of Korean culture and the localization of global culture.
