Each class offers a full-semester load of coursework, totaling 48 class hours, condensed into six weeks. No prior knowledge of Korean is necessary for enrollment and the medium of instruction for all courses is English (except for Korean language classes). Students can take up to a maximum of three courses and each one is worth 3 credits. Classes are held from Monday through Thursday.

Student MUST meet the course ADD/DROP deadline. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure his/her registration is correct. Any failure to do so will be reflected on his/her final grade.

The syllabi of the courses will be taken down from the website after the program ends, so be sure to download and print them if you think you would need them in the future.

All classes have a limit of 50 students. Some classes may fill up early and those who are late in pre-registration may not be able to enroll in the classes they wish to take. Course requests are only processed when we have received an official college transcript.
Credit Transfer
Students who wish to transfer KU ISC program credits are advised to consult with the appropriate academic authorities at their home institution in advance, whether or not the home institutions are KU's exchange partners. The home institution's academic advisors decide whether a particular ISC course may be applied towards the major or elective requirement. Students usually refer to the uploaded syllabus on our ISC course website to determine credit transferability to their home institution. If you have any questions, please contact us at isc@korea.ac.kr.
