Introduction
The Department of Political Science was the first department to be established at Konkuk University (KU). There is ample opportunity for students to receive individual attention and assistance as they pursue their chosen course of study. Many classes have fewer than three students, and our faculty members are committed to creating an interesting and relevant classroom environment. In addition to our wide range of traditional courses, graduate students are offered the opportunity to experience politics in practice and expand their knowledge by visiting major political institutions and participating in various debate programs.
- Scope of Study: Basic political concepts and a variety of political phenomena surrounding nations, societies and the world (i.e., comparative politics, international politics and political thought).
- Common Career Paths: Scholars, researchers at related laboratories, journalists, politicians, public servants, and employees at international organizations and civic groups.
