Kyung Hee has 2 campuses:

Seoul Campus (Main Campus)
Global Campus (1.5 – 3 hours away from the Seoul campus)

We usually do not recommend that students take classes at the Global Campus, however, ever since Kyung Hee started offering a Korean language track, they have been offered at the Global Campus, not the Seoul campus.

Please note that Korean language courses at Kyung Hee University are much more difficult than Korean at QC since they are taught in complete immersion & courses that seem to correspond with QC courses may actually be a level higher in terms of difficulty.

We do not recommend taking classes at both campuses. You should select one campus only. We discourage selecting the Global Campus.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT GRADUATION

If your semester abroad is your last semester of college, you will not be able to graduate until one semester later.

For example, if you study abroad in the Fall, you will not be able to graduate until the Spring because it takes us a while to receive your transcript.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Can I take Major/Minor Classes Abroad?

It is highly recommended that you take Elective Credits abroad, since you will not know exactly which classes you will take until you are abroad.

It may be possible to take Major/Minor credits abroad if those classes are offered abroad and if your department approves of those classes on a Course Approval Form. It is up to your Major/Minor Department’s discretion.
