The Seoul campus has 11 undergraduate colleges and 13 graduate schools, whereas the [[Glocal]] Campus in Chungju is composed of four undergraduate colleges and four graduate schools.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |url=http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/jsp/Coll/coll_index.jsp |title=KU College |language=Korean |accessdate=September 29, 2016}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web |url=http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/jsp/Coll/coll_index2.jsp |title=KU Graduate School |language=Korean |accessdate=September 29, 2016}}</ref> As of 2018, 29,600 undergraduate and graduate students were enrolled in the university, which has more than 3,000 faculty and staff.<ref name="Konkuk University – Facts & Figures"/>
==History==
In May 1946, Konkuk University was established as Chosun School of Politics ({{lang|ko|조선정치학관}} / {{lang|ko-Hani|朝鮮政治學館}}), a [[junior college]] for future political leaders, by Dr. Yoo Seok-chang. Thirteen years later, the school became a “comprehensive university” and changed its name to Konkuk ({{lang|ko-Hani|建國}}, meaning “founding a nation”). As strong believers in the role of higher education in maintaining Korea's sovereignty, the founder and his supporters chose the name in the hopes that Konkuk graduates would build and serve the nation. As of 2016, Konkuk University has two campuses – the main campus in central Seoul and the [[Glocal]] Campus in Chungju — with approximately 29,000 students enrolled.
Dr. Yoo, whose pen name was Sanghuh, was raised by a father who moved to [[Manchuria]] to join the [[Korean independence movement]]. Trained as a medical doctor during the [[Korea under Japanese rule|Japanese occupation]], Dr. Yoo initially had opened the People's Hospital in 1931 to provide medical care to less fortunate Koreans. Before long, he turned his attention to young leaders in rural areas since agriculture was the main pillar of the economy. Dr. Yoo and his supporters, who would later become benefactors of Konkuk University, aimed to open a higher education institution for leaders who would enlighten the rural population. Opposed by the Japanese, the reform-minded group managed a private organization and developed their ideas for a little more than a decade.
With years of experience in rural reforms and education as well as a short stint as a politician, Dr. Yoo became convinced that Konkuk University's must set its goals beyond academic excellence. During his tenure as the president of Konkuk University and the chairman of the Konkuk University Foundation, he emphasized three virtues—sincerity, fidelity, and righteousness—which continues to guide Konkuk to this day.
In addition, Dr. Yoo was aware that the limited space would not be sufficient to provide future agricultural leaders with ample hands-on experience. Despite the severe financial difficulties and skepticism after the Korean War, he boldly executed a move to the current location in Seoul. Thanks to Dr. Yoo's generous endowment and education philosophy, Konkuk University not only leads in agricultural and life science research, but also excels in many other areas today. Furthermore, Konkuk University has undergone major transformations in the past decade, earning the title of “the fastest growing university in Korea.”<ref name="Konkuk University – History">{{cite web |url= http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/eng/jsp/About/about_1_1.jsp.jsp |title=Konkuk University – History|publisher=|accessdate=February 2, 2016}}</ref>
In 2016, Konkuk University celebrated its 70th anniversary. A new emblem with the Sanghuh Hall, the original building for the Chosun School of Politics, was released in December 2015. The university also unveiled a second ox statue and held a major academic symposium.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/January2016/news04.jsp |title=KU Releases New Emblem for its 70th Anniversary|publisher=|accessdate=February 2, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/eng/jsp/About/about_6_2_3.jsp |title=KU Bio International Symposium Held on May 10|publisher=|accessdate=May 25, 2016}}</ref> In 2017, Konkuk University was selected for the Leaders in Industry-University Cooperation (LINC+) project by the Ministry of Education and the [[National Research Foundation of Korea]] and has been accredited by the Korean University Accreditation Institute (KUAI), [[Korean Council for University Education]], for two consecutive periods.

The innovative system is part of an effort to make university education more student-focused and tailored to meet changing industry demands. Konkuk students will be able to choose from a variety of options, including the 2+One-Semester On-The-Job Training program, 3+1 Employment program, 7+1 Self-Designed Semester program, and 4+1 Bachelor's and master's degree program. The 2+One-Semester program allows students to gain work experience during the semester and take classes to fulfill course requirements for their majors during the vacation. For the 7+1 program, students will design their plans for external activities prior to the beginning of the semester. The activities are to develop expertise in areas of interest rather than being limited to opening a new business or finding employment. Once the plans are approved, students receive up to 15 credits once they submit completion reports. The Center for Integrated Science and Technology, which will include four departments in biotechnology and another four in engineering, will offer the 4+1 Bachelor's and master's degree program.<ref>{{cite web |title="Plus Semester" System Introduced at KU |url=http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/june2016/news02.jsp |date= |accessdate=October 12, 2016}}</ref>

==History==
Konkuk University was founded in 1931 by Dr. Yoo Seok-Chang, who founded the Minjung Hospital, based on the three virtues—sincerity, fidelity and righteousness as the founding principle of an establishment.
In May 1946, Konkuk University was established as Chosun School of Politics ({{lang|ko|조선정치학관}} / {{lang|ko-Hani|朝鮮政治學館}}), a [[junior college]] for future political leaders, by Dr. Yoo Seok-chang. Thirteen years later, the school became a “comprehensive university” and changed its name to Konkuk ({{lang|ko-Hani|建國}}, meaning “founding a nation”). As strong believers in the role of higher education in maintaining Korea's sovereignty, the founder and his supporters chose the name in the hopes that Konkuk graduates would build and serve the nation.
Dr. Yoo, whose pen name was Sanghuh, was raised by a father who moved to [[Manchuria]] to join the [[Korean independence movement]]. Trained as a medical doctor during the [[Korea under Japanese rule|Japanese occupation]], Dr. Yoo initially had opened the People's Hospital in 1931 to provide medical care to less fortunate Koreans. Before long, he turned his attention to young leaders in rural areas since agriculture was the main pillar of the economy. Dr. Yoo and his supporters, who would later become benefactors of Konkuk University, aimed to open a higher education institution for leaders who would enlighten the rural population. Opposed by the Japanese, the reform-minded group managed a private organization and developed their ideas for a little more than a decade.
With years of experience in rural reforms and education as well as a short stint as a politician, Dr. Yoo became convinced that Konkuk University's must set its goals beyond academic excellence. During his tenure as the president of Konkuk University and the chairman of the Konkuk University Foundation, he emphasized three virtues—sincerity, fidelity, and righteousness—which continues to guide Konkuk to this day.
In addition, Dr. Yoo was aware that the limited space would not be sufficient to provide future agricultural leaders with ample hands-on experience. Despite the severe financial difficulties and skepticism after the Korean War, he boldly executed a move to the current location in Seoul. Thanks to Dr. Yoo's generous endowment and education philosophy, Konkuk University not only leads in agricultural and life science research, but also excels in many other areas today. Furthermore, Konkuk University has undergone major transformations in the past decade, earning the title of “the fastest growing university in Korea.”<ref name="Konkuk University – History">{{cite web |url= http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/eng/jsp/About/about_1_1.jsp.jsp |title=Konkuk University – History|publisher=|accessdate=February 2, 2016}}</ref>
In 2016, Konkuk University celebrated its 70th anniversary. A new emblem with the Sanghuh Hall, the original building for the Chosun School of Politics, was released in December 2015. The university also unveiled a second ox statue and held a major academic symposium.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/January2016/news04.jsp |title=KU Releases New Emblem for its 70th Anniversary|publisher=|accessdate=February 2, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/eng/jsp/About/about_6_2_3.jsp |title=KU Bio International Symposium Held on May 10|publisher=|accessdate=May 25, 2016}}</ref> In 2017, Konkuk University was selected for the Leaders in Industry-University Cooperation (LINC+) project by the Ministry of Education and the [[National Research Foundation of Korea]] and has been accredited by the Korean University Accreditation Institute (KUAI), [[Korean Council for University Education]], for two consecutive periods.

===Ilgam Lake===
[[File:Ilgam Lake.jpg|thumb|Ilgam Lake]]Ilgam Lake is located at the center of Konkuk University's Seoul campus. This swamp was converted to an artificial lake when the university moved the campus from [[Nagwon-dong]] to the current location in 1954. When indoor ice skating rinks were uncommon in the 1950s and 1960s, the lake was used for national competitions. Occupying 55,661 m², the lake accounts for approximately one-ninth of the campus area. To maintain water quality, 650 tons of underground water is added daily and a motor boat is used to prevent [[algal bloom]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://popkon.konkuk.ac.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=7815 |title=Ilgam Lake, A Major Attraction of Our University |publisher=Popkon |language=Korean |accessdate=February 3, 2016}}</ref>

==Recent developments==
;PRIME Project
On May 3, Konkuk University announced that it was selected by the government to participate in the Program for Industrial Needs-Matched Education, also known as the PRIME project. Higher education institutions receive incentives for restructuring and training students to meet the society's needs under the project. Of the 75 universities that applied, Konkuk University, Ewha Womans University, and Hanyang University's ERICA campus and 18 other universities were chosen. As a result, Konkuk University is expected to receive up to 450 billion won in government funding over three years until 2018. More than 15% will be allocated for scholarships, and a significant portion will be used to improve educational programs and build infrastructure.[[File:Dutch students, KU Living Lab Project 20170424.jpg|thumb|Dutch Students participated the Living Lab Project]]<ref name="auto">{{cite web |title=KU Chosen for the PRIME Project by the National Government |url=http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/june2016/news04.jsp |date= |accessdate=October 12, 2016}}</ref>
;Konkuk Institute of Technology
In 2017, Konkuk University introduced the "Konkuk Institute of Technology" to train and prepare students for industries with significant growth potential. The institute includes eight departments in energy engineering, smart vehicle engineering, smart ICT engineering, cosmetics engineering, stem cell and regenerative biology, systems biotechnology, integrative bioscience and biotechnology, and biomedical science and engineering with 333 students. Konkuk University plans to offer a 5-year BS/MS program, through which all students will receive a scholarship for their graduate education as well as a stipend of 300,000 won per month for book purchases and research, at the institute. The registration fee for all incoming students will be waived.<ref name="auto"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Konkuk Institute of Technology Recognized as Korea's Grande École |url=http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/september2016/news02.jsp |date= |accessdate=January 19, 2017}}</ref>
;Plus Semester System
As an alternative to the prevalent 2-semester, 4-year undergraduate programs, Konkuk University introduced the Plus Semester System which will allow students to take initiative in designing their own curriculum. The innovative system is part of an effort to make university education more student-focused and tailored to meet changing industry demands. Konkuk students will be able to choose from a variety of options, including the 2+One-Semester On-The-Job Training program, 3+1 Employment program, 7+1 Self-Designed Semester program, and 4+1 Bachelor's and master's degree program. The 2+One-Semester program allows students to gain work experience during the semester and take classes to fulfill course requirements for their majors during the vacation. For the 7+1 program, students will design their plans for external activities prior to the beginning of the semester. The activities are to develop expertise in areas of interest rather than being limited to opening a new business or finding employment. Once the plans are approved, students receive up to 15 credits once they submit completion reports. The Center for Integrated Science and Technology, which will include four departments in biotechnology and another four in engineering, will offer the 4+1 Bachelor's and master's degree program.<ref>{{cite web |title="Plus Semester" System Introduced at KU |url=http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/june2016/news02.jsp |date= |accessdate=October 12, 2016}}</ref>

+==History==
-==History==
-In May 1946, Konkuk University was established as Chosun School of Politics ({{lang|ko|조선정치학관}} / {{lang|ko-Hani|朝鮮政治學館}}), a [[junior college]] for future political leaders, by Dr. Yoo Seok-chang. Thirteen years later, the school became a “comprehensive university” and changed its name to Konkuk ({{lang|ko-Hani|建國}}, meaning “founding a nation”). As strong believers in the role of higher education in maintaining Korea's sovereignty, the founder and his supporters chose the name in the hopes that Konkuk graduates would build and serve the nation. As of 2016, Konkuk University has two campuses – the main campus in central Seoul and the [[Glocal]] Campus in Chungju — with approximately 29,000 students enrolled.
+Konkuk University was founded in 1931 by Dr. Yoo Seok-Chang, who founded the Minjung Hospital, based on the three virtues—sincerity, fidelity and righteousness as the founding principle of an establishment.

Dr. Yoo, whose pen name was Sanghuh, was raised by a father who moved to [[Manchuria]] to join the [[Korean independence movement]]. Trained as a medical doctor during the [[Korea under Japanese rule|Japanese occupation]], Dr. Yoo initially had opened the People's Hospital in 1931 to provide medical care to less fortunate Koreans. Before long, he turned his attention to young leaders in rural areas since agriculture was the main pillar of the economy. Dr. Yoo and his supporters, who would later become benefactors of Konkuk University, aimed to open a higher education institution for leaders who would enlighten the rural population. Opposed by the Japanese, the reform-minded group managed a private organization and developed their ideas for a little more than a decade.

<p>Konkuk University was founded in 1931 by Dr. Yoo Seok-Chang, who founded the Minjung Hospital, based on the three virtues—sincerity, fidelity and righteousness as the founding principle of an establishment.
</p><p>In May 1946, Konkuk University was established as Chosun School of Politics (<span lang="ko" title="Korean language text">조선정치학관</span> / <span lang="ko-Hani" title="Korean language text">朝鮮政治學館</span>), a <a href="/wiki/Junior_college" title="Junior college">junior college</a> for future political leaders, by Dr. Yoo Seok-chang. Thirteen years later, the school became a “comprehensive university” and changed its name to Konkuk (<span lang="ko-Hani" title="Korean language text">建國</span>, meaning “founding a nation”). As strong believers in the role of higher education in maintaining Korea's sovereignty, the founder and his supporters chose the name in the hopes that Konkuk graduates would build and serve the nation.
</p><p>Dr. Yoo, whose pen name was Sanghuh, was raised by a father who moved to <a href="/wiki/Manchuria" title="Manchuria">Manchuria</a> to join the <a href="/wiki/Korean_independence_movement" title="Korean independence movement">Korean independence movement</a>. Trained as a medical doctor during the <a href="/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule" title="Korea under Japanese rule">Japanese occupation</a>, Dr. Yoo initially had opened the People's Hospital in 1931 to provide medical care to less fortunate Koreans. Before long, he turned his attention to young leaders in rural areas since agriculture was the main pillar of the economy. Dr. Yoo and his supporters, who would later become benefactors of Konkuk University, aimed to open a higher education institution for leaders who would enlighten the rural population. Opposed by the Japanese, the reform-minded group managed a private organization and developed their ideas for a little more than a decade.
</p><p>With years of experience in rural reforms and education as well as a short stint as a politician, Dr. Yoo became convinced that Konkuk University's must set its goals beyond academic excellence. During his tenure as the president of Konkuk University and the chairman of the Konkuk University Foundation, he emphasized three virtues—sincerity, fidelity, and righteousness—which continues to guide Konkuk to this day.
</p><p>In addition, Dr. Yoo was aware that the limited space would not be sufficient to provide future agricultural leaders with ample hands-on experience. Despite the severe financial difficulties and skepticism after the Korean War, he boldly executed a move to the current location in Seoul. Thanks to Dr. Yoo's generous endowment and education philosophy, Konkuk University not only leads in agricultural and life science research, but also excels in many other areas today. Furthermore, Konkuk University has undergone major transformations in the past decade, earning the title of “the fastest growing university in Korea.”<sup id="cite_ref-Konkuk_University_–_History_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Konkuk_University_–_History-8">[8]</a></sup>

<dl><dt>PRIME Project</dt></dl><p>
On May 3, Konkuk University announced that it was selected by the government to participate in the Program for Industrial Needs-Matched Education, also known as the PRIME project. Higher education institutions receive incentives for restructuring and training students to meet the society's needs under the project. Of the 75 universities that applied, Konkuk University, Ewha Womans University, and Hanyang University's ERICA campus and 18 other universities were chosen. As a result, Konkuk University is expected to receive up to 450 billion won in government funding over three years until 2018. More than 15% will be allocated for scholarships, and a significant portion will be used to improve educational programs and build infrastructure.</p><div class="thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:222px;"><a href="/wiki/File:Dutch_students,_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Dutch_students%2C_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg/220px-Dutch_students%2C_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="thumbimage" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Dutch_students%2C_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg/330px-Dutch_students%2C_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Dutch_students%2C_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg/440px-Dutch_students%2C_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg 2x" data-file-width="960" data-file-height="720" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/wiki/File:Dutch_students,_KU_Living_Lab_Project_20170424.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div>Dutch Students participated the Living Lab Project</div></div></div><p><sup id="cite_ref-auto_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-24">[24]</a></sup>
</p><dl><dt>Konkuk Institute of Technology</dt></dl>
<p>In 2017, Konkuk University introduced the "Konkuk Institute of Technology" to train and prepare students for industries with significant growth potential. The institute includes eight departments in energy engineering, smart vehicle engineering, smart ICT engineering, cosmetics engineering, stem cell and regenerative biology, systems biotechnology, integrative bioscience and biotechnology, and biomedical science and engineering with 333 students. Konkuk University plans to offer a 5-year BS/MS program, through which all students will receive a scholarship for their graduate education as well as a stipend of 300,000 won per month for book purchases and research, at the institute. The registration fee for all incoming students will be waived.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-24">[24]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a></sup>
</p>
<dl><dt>Plus Semester System</dt></dl>
<p>As an alternative to the prevalent 2-semester, 4-year undergraduate programs, Konkuk University introduced the Plus Semester System which will allow students to take initiative in designing their own curriculum. The innovative system is part of an effort to make university education more student-focused and tailored to meet changing industry demands. Konkuk students will be able to choose from a variety of options, including the 2+One-Semester On-The-Job Training program, 3+1 Employment program, 7+1 Self-Designed Semester program, and 4+1 Bachelor's and master's degree program. The 2+One-Semester program allows students to gain work experience during the semester and take classes to fulfill course requirements for their majors during the vacation. For the 7+1 program, students will design their plans for external activities prior to the beginning of the semester. The activities are to develop expertise in areas of interest rather than being limited to opening a new business or finding employment. Once the plans are approved, students receive up to 15 credits once they submit completion reports. The Center for Integrated Science and Technology, which will include four departments in biotechnology and another four in engineering, will offer the 4+1 Bachelor's and master's degree program.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a></sup>
