Why Study in South Korea?
Why study in South Korea as an International StudentSouth Korea is, in many ways, similar to other destinations around Asia; it features advanced, modern cities and large populations that are always on the go. Since 1948, it has diverged considerably from its neighbor, North Korea. Sought Korea is an amalgamation of the old and the new, with many temples, palaces, and UNESCO World Heritage sites alongside modern buildings and densely populated residential areas. It is highly influenced by American culture, but still manages to hold onto its proud history and culture. So what does this country have to offer an international student?

Other unique educational programs include several intensive Korean language summer programs, as well as a National Science Foundation summer institute program for graduate students from the United States.
