Description: As the Ewha International Summer College celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year, the 2010 program has become richer in both academic and cultural spheres, catered to best provide all participants a lasting memory and experience.

Four decades have passed since Ewha started the first-ever international summer program in a Korean institution, in 1971. The first International Summer Program in Korea in 1971 was attended by seven foreign students and one Ewha student. After nearly four decades, the magnitude of the program and variety of students have increased to another level. The 1971 Summer School program became an incubator for the 1st Joint Summer Curriculum between Ewha and the University of Kansas, Kansas at Ewha Program. The cumulative know-how and continuous devotion by the Summer Committee members have remained the same for 4 decades and made Ewhas Summer Program what it is today.

Astounding for its diverse academic programs, Ewha is the place to be for future global leaders. Its 123 years of tradition as the pioneer of education culminated in KCUE (Korea Council for University Education)s confirmation that it is the top institute of higher learning in the country. In 1995 and 2005, Ewha ranked number 1 in the University Ranking released by the National Korean Council for University Education.

The balance of Ewha summer program participants - foreigners, expats, and Ewha students - enables a steady and proportioned combination of networking possible for all of the summer participants.

With unrivaled diverse academic excellence, nested in Shinchon - the heart of the most vibrant university town in Korea - neighboring with major universities such as Yonsei, Sogang and Hongik - it is the place to be to experience authentic Korean college life.
