USAC Korea: Gwangju - Undergraduate Courses

Over its 50-year history, Chonnam National University has developed future leaders and professionals both locally and abroad. Korean “chingu” (friends) mix with foreign students on campus and help them learn local customs and to practice Hangeul, the Korean language. Gwangju, the sixth largest city in Korea, is only an hour by plane south of Seoul. It was established as a city in 57 BC and is the birthplace of the modern democratic movement in Korea. During the period of Japanese rule, students in Gwangju ignited one of the major nationwide uprisings of the colonial period.

My semester in Yeosu!

I spent my spring 2025 semester in Yeosu! For the first time in my life I was going out into the world alone and I wouldn’t have done it without USAC! I chose the Korean intensive program in Yeosu with Chonnam National University and I had so much fun and definitely improved my Korean skills! At the beginning of the program i could barely speak in Korean but by the end of the program I was talking with the elders on the streets in Seoul! I’m very proud of how much I’ve grown in Yeosu. The coordinators Choi Eunyoung and Ma Gahee were the best! Through everything they helped from health insurance to just adapting to the new environment.
