Thank you for your interest in the 2025 Study Abroad Program to South Korea. The outline below describes the financial requirements of being a part of Study Abroad. The Study abroad is 7 weeks long and is made up of two components. For the first 3 weeks, students will participate in the Dankook Global Village Program. The Global Village (GV) is a unique three-week peer-to-peer teaching program where students teach conversation classes in English to small groups of Dankook University students. For the next 4 weeks, students participate in the academic program. Students from all around the world attend one academic course taught by international and Dankook University professors, for which you can earn transferable credits. These courses include Korean Language classes, Korean Culture, history, and fashion classes.
