Overview

The Department of Global Studies (DGS), which is part of the College of Economics and International Trade at Pusan National University, has developed a second major called the Korean and East Asian Studies Program or KEASP. Established in 2014, KEASP is a unique Korean and regional studies program with all courses taught in English by a western-trained faculty.

The department offers a challenging, interdisciplinary curriculum taught entirely in English. Included in the curriculum are courses in economics, law, international relations, business, culture, science, art, religion, literature, philosophy, human rights, leadership, and communication.

Career outcomes

The Department of Global Studies will prepare the next generation of Korea’s leaders for careers in international organizations, government, media, policy research, trade associations, and multinational corporations. The inauguration of this new department is thus envisioned as a further step in the university’s and the city’s development as respective hubs of education and global business.
