About the program
KU ISC is an opportunity for academic and cultural immersion in Korea during the summer months. Students can choose from a 4-week or 6-week study track-- the difference being program period and class time.
Numerous course offerings are available covering a wide array of subjects, notably Business, Economics, Sociology, Fine Arts, International Relations, Science and Korean Studies (see full course list). Courses are taught by distinguished academics from around the world.
Participants of ISC also have the option gaining work experience through an internship at a company/organization in Korea. Opportunities are primarily in private-sector businesses in fields including marketing, sales, operations and public relations.
