Pre-College International Summer Campus
"In 2008, Korea University has launched the "Global Frontier Spirit" with the aim to enrich their high quality, global standard of education for students from home and abroad. As part of our goal, International Summer Campus (ISC) is presenting students with boundless opportunities to expand their knowledge and attend informative lectures given by renowned professors from the world's leading universities. As a result, ISC has firmly positioned itself as the center for international education in the Asian region.
In the summer of 2010, ISC is launching KU Pre-College, a special summer program for high school graduates who were admitted to overseas universities and for currently enrolled high school students with outstanding academic performances. This program is a great opportunity for students to cultivate knowledge and, at the same time, interact with other international students. Come to Korea University, Korea's hub of intelligence and globalization, to make a head start for your campus life!
We look forward to welcoming you to the campus of Korea University, full of passion and spirit, in the summer of 2010!"
