GLOBAL KOREAN STUDIES AT SOGANG

 

The Department of Global Korean Studies (GKS) nurtures engaged, creative, global citizens and leaders of twenty-first century knowledge production through an integrated study of Korea from a global perspective. GKS students gain not only an extensive knowledge of Korea but also learn how knowledge about Korea is produced, both in Korea and around the world. The opportunity to understand the diverse ways that Korea is known, situates GKS students at a hub of international discourse. Studying at this global intersection, GKS students develop uniquely broad international perspectives, as well as exceptional analytical and communication skills. A deep knowledge of Korea and the practical skills of knowledge production—documentation and curation, quantitative and qualitative analysis, argument and creative expression as they are practiced with millennia-old and next-generation technologies—equips and positions students in GKS to become global leaders of twenty-first century knowledge creation. As future leaders in academia, creative industries, information technology, publishing, global journalism, government and non-governmental organizations, and entrepreneurship, GKS graduates bring knowledge of Korea to the world and a knowledge of the world to Korea

 

 

MASTER’S OF GLOBAL KOREAN STUDIES

 

Korean studies is inherently global. “Han’gukhak,” frequently translated “Korean studies,” is a misnomer. Koreanists do not just study “Han’guk (South Korea).” Rather they investigate the vast variety of phenomenon that can be associated with evolving ideas associated with “Korea,” ideas generated in the two Korea’s and their historical predecessors, as well as ideas from around the world. The Master’s program in Global Korean Studies trains students to be domain experts as well as interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborators capable of conducting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research with collaborators around the world
