◆ Selection of promising department over name value attracts test-takers
In the 2010 entrance examination, specialized university departments are booming. Several unfamiliar departments are on the upper section of the university allotment table from private institutes. The competition rates are relatively high. In the center of this trend, there is Sungkyunkwan University Global Business Administration.
◆ Pursuit of substance over name value”
At the end of 2007, Kwak Sae Mi was deeply concerned about entering SKKU GBA. Since the department was new, information was lacking and she was leaning toward liberal arts at another recognizable university. She decided to explore a new path, believing in the school’s support for the promising department.
Soon to be junior, Ms. Kwak says, “Looking back, I made a good choice”. In short, “it is a department that is treated well by the school.” Professors help students with signing up for courses and outlining career paths, and they can learn marketing, finance, accounting, organizational management, the various fields of management. Ms. Kwak mentioned that even though all lectures are in English, it is not too difficult to follow. There is also the benefit of getting a dual degree from Indiana University and receiving scholarships. Alumni from the business department who are working give advice as well.
◆ Scholarship and guarantee of employment are substantial benefits
All GBA students receive scholarships. The admission fee and tuition are basically 50% off and when a student’s GPA is over certain level, scholarships are provided. Scholarships are invested for the future by Samsung Corporation. There is more. GBA students get 1 to 1 supervision between student and professor, and student and administration staff. In addition, dormitory is provided for GBA students. It is open to not only to students from other provinces but also those from Seoul.
◆ A dual degree from Indiana University
The biggest benefit of being a GBA student is obtaining a dual degree. After finishing their junior year in SKKU, students can continue studying at Indiana University Kelley School for one and a half years. The graduation ceremony is held in the U.S., so students get the same chances for internships, job fairs or job interviews as other Kelley School students have. This dual degree is now only progressed with Kelley School, but it will be stretched further in America, Europe, China and other prominent universities in the world.
