Korea University International Summer Campus (KU ISC) provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn about Korea through academic and cultural immersion during the summer months. It offers one semester's load of work condensed into 6-week/4-week programs, during which renowned academics teach both domestic and international students. This program is open to current college students who wish to study in Korea but may not be able to do so during the regular academic year.
The core of ISC rests in the quality of its courses, faculty members and students. Academic credits earned at ISC are recognized worldwide and are typically transferred to the students' home institutions. About 120 course offerings cover a wide range of subjects pertaining to international issues, with a particular emphasis on Business, Economics, Humanities, Sociology, Fine Art, International Relations, Science and Korean Studies. International faculty members from prestigious universities in the US, Europe and Asia provide students with world-class education and research experience.
This year, in response to the COVID-19 situation, we have also implemented two participation tracks, in-person and online.
Online Classes will be delivered via live-streaming with recordings available on-demand.
In-person classes and extracurricular experiences are available for those students who are able to come to Korea. (*In case of the spread of COVID-19, students may be subjected to attend online courses only, even if they applied for the in-person sessions.)
