Yonsei University (Korean: 연세대학교; Hanja: 延世大學校) is a private Christian research university located in Seoul, South Korea. Yonsei is one of the prestigious group of three universities in the nation referred to as SKY universities.[2]
The university traces its roots to the first modern medical center in Korea, Gwanghyewon (광혜원 廣惠院, House of Extended Grace) founded in April 1885, now Severance Union Medical College (세브란스 의과대학; 세브란스 醫科大學). The institution in its current university form was established in January 1957 through the union of Yonhi College (연희전문학교; 延禧專門學校) and Severance.[3] As a tribute, the name "Yonsei" was derived from the first syllables of the names of its two parent institutions, "Yon; 연; 延" from Yonhi College and "Sei; 세; 世" from Severance Union Medical College. Yonhi College was one of the first modern colleges, founded as Chosun Christian College (조선기독교대학; 朝鮮基督教大學) in March 1915. The union was a result of a lasting bilateral cooperation between the colleges that began in the 1920s. The institutions were the first of their kinds in Korea.
The student body consists of 18,200 undergraduate students, 11,632 graduate students, 4,518 faculty members, 6,788 staff, and 257,931 alumni.[citation needed] Yonsei operates its main campus in Seoul and offers graduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in Korean and English. Graduates of Yonsei include a Nobel laureate,[4] an Academy Award winner,[5] Olympians, and a Fulkerson Prize-winning mathematician.[6]
