Sogang University (SU; Korean: 서강대학교; Hanja: 西江大學校; RR: Seogang Daehakgyo; lit. West River University) is a private Jesuit research university in Mapo, Seoul, South Korea. Sogang University was established on April 18, 1960 by the Society of Jesus,[2][3] with the school being the oldest and only Jesuit institution of higher education in the country. It was founded at the initiative of the Catholic Hierarchy of Korea, after Pope Pius XII gave assurance that a Catholic institution of higher learning would be established on the territory of Korea.[4]
Today, Sogang is regarded as one of the best universities in the country,[5][6] providing its students with a variety of undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate programs. The university offers 27 undergraduate departments in 9 schools alongside a multiple major system with more than 600 major combinations, a graduate school, which is equipped with 25 departments and 5 interdisciplinary programs that offer master's and Ph.D. programs, 6 professional graduate schools, and 5 special graduate programs.[7][8][9]
Currently, Sogang has joint academic agreements with over 370 partner universities in 65 countries, which includes Catholic and Jesuit institutions. It hosts about 300 incoming exchange students and sends 200 outgoing exchange students every semester. Sogang offers international students various international programs, such as the International Summer Program, also known as the Sogang International Summer Program (SISP), STEM Lab Internship Program, Korean Language Programs, which operate under the Sogang University Korean Language Education Center (Sogang KLEC), Service Learning Program, and other short-term programs.[10][11][12][13]
