How to Apply

What We Look for in an Applicant

WooSong  welcomes applications from students wishing to make a difference in their lives—from any part of the world. In particular, WooSong seeks students who promise distinction in the quality of their personal lives, service to the community, and leadership in their chosen fields of study.

Admission is competitive. Every application is reviewed individually; evidence of academic preparation, achievement, letters of recommendation, essay and test scores are carefully considered in the context of the student's environment.

The Admissions Committee

The Admissions Committee meets regularly and will review only completed application files. A completed application includes the application fee, completed application form, transcripts/marksheets, essay, letter(s) of recommendation, Proof of English Proficiency and Proof of Finances.

Academic Year

The Academic year has two Assessment Periods: one 15-wk semester followed by a five-week study term in both Fall and Spring. The Fall Semester usually begins in the first week of September, and the Spring Semester in the first week of March. Students are expected to be in Korea at least one week before classes for a one-week Orientation Workshop. During this period, the students will complete administrative requirements as well as enjoy several spirit-building sessions. Details will be sent to students after they obtain their visa, and are enrolled with the University. MBA Students are expected to study for each Assessment Period each year in order to graduate in 16 months.

Transfer students

Undergraduate students wishing to transfer from a recognized college or university may apply as a normal student and provide course descriptions along with official transcripts / mark sheets which will be evaluated for transfer credit. Transfer students should have a minimum GPA of 2.5/4.0 (or equivalent) and have individual course grades of 2.0/4.0 or better (or equivalent). Courses must be similar in content and quality to WooSong’s in order to qualify for transfer credit. Up to 2 years of credit may be transferred; the remainder of the degree credits must be earned at WooSong in accordance with Korean law.

Application Deadlines

Students may start their academic programs in either the Fall or Spring semester. Admissions are made on a rolling basis; and students are urged to apply as early as possible to ensure sufficient time for application review and visa acquisition procedures. Students who are admitted but who are unable to complete visa arrangements prior to the start of the semestermay defer enrollment to the subsequent semester. The application deadline for Spring is 15 December; the deadline for Fall is 15 June.
