PKNU Summer School
“Both Korean and international university students have applied for PKNU Summer Camp.”

This summer’s five week camp started on the 28th of June. 115 students from both Korea and abroad are attending the summer school. 

The Summer Camp is an English Immersion Program for undergraduate students, and the lectures will be given by professors from Columbus State University, Northern State University, North Carolina State University and Pukyong National University.

It attracts applicants by providing opportunities to study in a globalized educational environment, costing less than studying abroad for the Korean students, and offering chances to experience Korean culture and obtain academic credits for the international students. 

During the program, five courses will be offered. They are ’Modern Management Techniques’ and ‘International Business’ by Dr. John Finley of Columbus State University, ‘International Economics’ by Dr. Lee GunHo of Northern State University, ‘Introduction to Fisheries Science’ by Dr. Derek Aday of North Carolina State University, and ‘Introduction to Fisheries Science by Shin MyungHo of PKNU. Students can take up to 15 credits.

Jung YeonHo, the director of the Office of International Relations, claims that “this program will benefit the local students by providing highly qualified lectures from distinguished professors abroad with students who are reluctant to study abroad because of the burden of the expenses." He also added, "For the international students, the program is attractive in that they could spend their summer vacation in Busan which is widely known as an international resort city, and they could experience Korean culture at the same time."
