Introduction

Mission and Vision

The educational goal of Hongik University Graduate School is to forge the strongest link between academia and industry to provide service for the benefit of all humankind. The name "Hongik“ literally means "service to mankind."

In pursuing this goal, we prepare students for varied careers and encourage them to foster independent thinking. Intellectual independence is thus our first educational objective.

Our second objective is development of students' cooperative spirit. Cooperation is vital for individual betterment during one's lifetime, and it is this cooperative ability that we strive to cultivate in students. While each individual may live independently, society also requires that individuals live in harmony with fellow human beings.

People always learn from the knowledge and experience of others. Hongik University Graduate School strives to guide students to live in a community where human interaction is essential. This spirit of cooperation will lead students to work together for the betterment of humankind.

Our third academic objective is the development of students' creativity. Creativity is vital in seeking individual happiness during one's lifetime, and it is this creative ability that we hope students will have. In short, Hongik University Graduate School inculcates students with values necessary to serve society as independent, cooperative, and creative professionals.
