Handong Global University (President Do Soung Choi) obtained accreditation by meeting all criteria with no conditional or non-fulfillment in the 2022 (second half) 3- cycle university institution evaluation accreditation conducted by the Korea University Accreditation Institute of the Korea University Education Council.
University institutional evaluation accreditation is a system implemented by the Korea University Accreditation Institute to induce continuous quality improvement of university education, enhance university education performance, and accountability, and secure international acceptance of higher education. By announcing the results to society, the quality of the university education is guaranteed, and social trust is granted as an educational institution.
The 3-cycle university institutional evaluation accreditation is determined by comprehensively evaluating matters related to university operation based on 5 evaluation areas and 30 evaluation criteria, including university philosophy and management, curriculum and learning, faculty and staff, student support and facilities, and university performance and social responsibility.
Handong Global University has been recognized domestically and internationally for fulfilling the requirements as a higher education institution by achieving the third consecutive certification with this accreditation following the last two cycles.
President Do Soung Choi of Handong Global University said, “It is the fruit of the dedication and effort of all university members to achieve this 3-cycle university institution evaluation accreditation by meeting all criteria. In the future, our university will continue to grow into a true Christian university, global university, student-first university through constant innovation, cultivating talented people who can change the world.”
