In the mornings, students take language courses designed to help improve their fluency in conversational Korean. Using an integrated teaching method, students practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills and learn useful vocabulary and grammar patterns. Through group projects and classroom activities, students acquire practical speaking experience while learning about Korean culture.

Students spend the afternoons taking interactive culture classes. In addition, students take outings into the city with their instructors or teaching assistants to complete assignments that help them practice their Korean language skills in a real world setting. Destinations include historical sites and other local points of interest. Students will also participate in culture-related group projects with Korean college students.

Students will have the opportunity to take several half-day field trips to visit attractions in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, including Samchung-dong, Insa-dong, sporting events, and concerts. In addition, students have the option of taking a 2-day trip to historic sites outside of Seoul.

Upon successful completion of course requirements, students will receive 6 credits. Credits may be transferred to the student’s home institution by requesting an official transcript to be sent to their university’s registrar’s office. In order to receive credit, students are required to attend at least 80% of their classes.
