Area Studies aims to train students to become area experts who have social scientific analytical ability. Therefore we encourage students to proceed to PhD programs. With the unique characteristic of Area Studies, students can obtain PhD degree not only in Area Studies, but in Politics, Economics and Sociology as well.

As area experts, graduates can also work in domestic or foreign corporations. Since 1999, our students have found jobs in KOTRA, Korea Tourism Organization, Daewoo Japan, LG EDS, LG Chemical, Phillip Morris, SK, and Samsung Electronics.
