Message from the Dean The Yonsei International Summer School (YISS) opened its doors in 1985 and since then, YISS has become an integral part of campus life based on a unique blend of Korean and global cultures. YISS continues to grow and evolve, accommodating the needs of a rapidly changing student body and meeting the challenges of a fast-paced global society. The 2012 program has been revamped in order to highlight growing interest in the arts, culture, and humanities while also offering cutting-edge classes in management and economics, global issues, history and social sciences, and science and technology.

Continuing its pioneering tradition of international education, Yonsei University was the first to establish the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) in 1987 and the Underwood International College (UIC) in 2005. GSIS offers Englishbased postgraduate degree programs in international studies and Korean studies.

All courses at GSIS and UIC are taught in English by distinguished international and Korean faculty.

The credits students earn at YISS will be transferable to most institutions outside Korea. Students are required to obtain pre-approval from their academic advisor in their home institution so that they can receive credits back to their school. List of Courses Arts, Culture, and Humanities
