Why Should I Take Korean Studies?
- Most Korean companies are looking for international students who have expertise in knowledge and knowhow of Korean society.
- Each semester, many international students' grades don't satisfy scholarship criteria which is 2.5 and up. Under a relative evaluation system, competing against fellow international students is much easier than against Korean students.
