The Department of History enhances the student's broad understanding of mankind and the world as well as academic thinking abilities through comprehensive and systematic programs on world history in order to achieve its goal of achieving well-balanced knowledge on history. In particular, we strive to overcome the blind patriotism and nationalism in response to the internationalization and globalization era, while objectifying Korean history within world history. It is generally categorized as either Eastern or Western history, in which Chinese history, Japanese history, Silk Road history and Northeast Asian history is included in Eastern, while British, American, French, German and Russian history are included in Western. Furthermore, because of the characteristics of foreign history, there are many students who double major in language courses such as Chinese, Japanese, English, French etc. In addition, students can also take courses in interpreting cultural properties and working in museums.
