Study for a Semester in South Korea!

Institution

Ewha Womans University is one of the most prestigious universities in Korea. Ewha was established in 1866 as the first-ever educational institution for Korean women. Over the last 123 years, Ewha has been a pioneer in the Korean education field. It has made remarkable developments throughout the years to become the largest women’s university in the world. Ewha’s excellent academic programs, distinguished faculty and bold vision have fostered numerous women leaders and significantly contributed to the development of Korean society. Although traditionally a women's university, Ewha Womans University is open to male and female international students and about 30 percent of all international students are male.

Location

Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea, is among the world’s largest cities, with a population of more than 10 million. The city is said to be built on eight mountains—four inner mountains that surround the old city, and four outer—so expect some steep slopes and spectacular views. Seoul may be large and the pace of life often frantic, but that doesn’t mean there’s no chance to relax—nothing gets in the way of the daily tea ceremony.

Students are able to apply for the ISEP Exchange or ISEP Direct program. The major different between these two programs is how fees are structure. On the ISEP Exchange program students pay Appalachian tuition and fees plus the ISEP Full Exchange Fee. On the ISEP Direct program students will be billed the ISEP Direct program fee. Non-resident students should check to see if the ISEP Direct cost will be less than Appalachian out of state tuition rates.

Academic Calendar

  • Fall Semester: Late August to Late December
