Korean History Major traces its roots to the History Department of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, established in 1946 with the foundation of Seoul National University. In March 1969, it became an independent academic department when the Department of History was split into three separate units. With the move of SNU to the Gwanak campus in 1975 the Department f Korean History became part of the newly organized College of Humanities. From 2023, as the Department of Korean History was integrated into the Department of History, it was reorganized into the Korean History Major as a part of the Department of History.
