Due to rapid globalization and the tremendous amount of new information, universities in Korea have been asked to take responsibility for training young people who can meet the challenges of the new era and play a leading role in the development of the 21st century.

We aim to produce an elite group of students ready for the new era by nurturing great character and intelligence. To achieve these goals we are doing our best to establish academic traditions of practical knowledge and internationalize oriental culture by applying the founding ideals of Hong-ik-in-gan and Won-yung-mu-ae.

Various majors with social competitiveness are specialized according to the academic tradition of practical knowledge. We are producing competitive intellectuals by providing outstanding programs, an excellent faculty, and advanced educational facilities. As a result of these efforts, we are attracting nationwide attention. The professors of most of the majors in our university are field experts and valuable resources, particularly for the School of Law and Public Administration and the School of Hotel and Tourism Management.

Youngsan University is going beyond passive preservation of our traditional values by actively pursuing an internationalism deeply rooted in oriental culture in general. For example, all Youngsan students are required to take the oriental classic, Analects of the Confucius. The School of Sports and Recreation is focusing on the spirits and the techniques of the oriental sports. The School of Architecture is emphasizing the wisdom of our ancestors who strived for harmony with nature and the School of Design is making an effort to continue the profound ideas of our ancestors by introducing them to the world.

Youngsan University is operating a multiple-major school system available to all students to honor their right of choice. All the students are allowed to choose a single or double-major.

Youngsan University has made a commitment to embrace its students with affection, nurture their dreams, and encourage their hopes. Youngsan University has provided an academic program of practical knowledge and has helped its students achieve their dreams. Youngsan University is becoming a prestigious university by producing the young people needed by society and, in the long run, contribute to the development of both local communities and the nation.
