About Korean Language & Business
As Korea's global influence continues to expand, interest in the Korean language and culture is growing worldwide. The KLB (Korean Language & Business) department is a specialized program designed for international students to intensively study Korean language, Korean culture, and business.
Our department focuses on three core competencies: Korean language communication as a foreign language, Korean cultural content literacy, and business practical skills. We offer two tracks—Korean Track and English Track—tailored to students' Korean proficiency levels. Upon graduation, students will be equipped with the competitive edge needed to thrive in Korean companies or Korean enterprises expanding into the Asian market.
