The Department of Culture and Liberal Arts aims to foster the ability and qualities to understand and adapt to various changes in modern society and the comprehensive cultivation of humanistic knowledge and basic culture. The most significant feature of our department is team teaching. Common courses taught by departmental professors and individual courses in each area make the most use of external scholars through team teaching. The broad and diverse nature of the subjects calls for communication and deepening between fields as you advance in the program.
Our department is also the most appropriate department for lifelong education, which is the educational goal of KNOU. Students discuss their feelings and enjoy reading and writing together. While studying and increasing knowledge about the world, we look back on old questions from the present perspective and seek new questions and answers. Through communication that shares difficulties and joy, we pursue a life and an attitude that value culture. In particular, we develop professional knowledge and skills in culture, art, and planning.
Graduates can enter the cultural, art, broadcasting, publishing, and education fields, or attend graduate schools in various fields. Students who continue to work in their fields are taking advantage of the department’s purpose and the knowledge they have nurtured in the course of their studies to cultivate their lives and world in a stable fashion.
