About this Program
The Department of Modern Languages in the College of Liberal Arts offers the minor in Korean. Students can take four full years of instruction, making UM one of a select few universities with such a comprehensive program.
Korea has a vision for the future of cities in the world and as such is promoting two futuristic themes: the Korean Wave of Culture (Hallyu) and the Korean Wave of Economy. We can already see these themes among teenagers and young adults in Latin America, India, and the West where young adults enjoy K[Korean]-pop, K-drama and K-video games, and where they have become acutely interested in South Korean fashion and lifestyles, as well as using cutting-edge Korean products. Being able to speak and understand the Korean language is thus a tool for understanding and using this “soft” power.
