Guidance Dept. of Integrative Studies
Kyungwon University, unlike any other existing academic
system, operates the Dept. of Integrative Studies. This
system is intended to give you more opportunities in selecting
majors. There are more careers and related major fields
than you may have thought before entering Kyungwon University
and as a result, you may wish to spend the first year
in Dept. of Integrative Studies. However, life in the Dept. of Integrative Studies will require responsibilities as well as
abundant freedom. This is because you must perform various
experiments actively and responsibly with the major you
hope to take in mind. You must take a variety of classes
in order to determine your future path, and then decide
whether or not they meet your expectations. If these efforts
prove successful, you will have made the most out of the
opportunities offered by the Dept. of Integrative Studies.

Students will spend the first year under

The first principle of college life is self-regulation and responsibility.
