Korean Studies Major
The Korean Studies Major develops students' sophisticated understanding of the dynamics that have shaped Korea and its relationship with the world. Situated at the geopolitical centre of Northeast Asia, Korea has long played a significant role in shaping transformations within the region and beyond. The division of the Korean peninsula into North and South Korea since 1945 made Korea a strategically important player in the politics of the Cold War, and the legacy of that Great Power competition resonates to the present. The Major consists of a wide range of courses on history, politics, society, and culture, offering an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective. Students will gain nuanced understanding of the past and the present of the peninsula as well as insights into current affairs related to North and South Korea. The Korea Studies Major complements the Korean language Major but Korean language proficiency is not required for courses in the Korean Studies Major.
