EXCHANGE PROGRAM

While enhancing relationships with American universities at the whole-university level, we aim to establish a next-generation education system by offering a multi-layered exchange program that spans across high school education, general education courses, bachelor’s specialty courses, and the training of internationally viable researchers through research-based exchanges. Additionally, through this project, we aim to significantly accumulate and deploy know-how regarding online education in regions with time differences.

 

Responding to the desire to learn by connecting high schools and universities AP Subjects (High school-University Collaboration COIL)

High school-University
Collaboration

High School – University Collaboration COIL Program

  • Introducing Advanced Placement (AP) subjects linked to initiatives for high school – university collaboration and entrance exam reforms.
  • In the newly established high school -university collaboration COIL program, qualifications for applying for the KUGS special entrance system will be granted based on evaluation, and credits will be recognized after admission to our university.
