A Letter from the Director
Welcome
to the Center for Korean Studies Web page. I
hope that you will study our program information
carefully, and I am certain that you will soon
discover that we are one of the top institutions
in the United States for the study of Korea.
We have more faculty studying various aspects
of Korea than any other U.S. university, and
that translates into more courses across more
subjects. We also have one of the largest concentrations
of graduate students, and that means more opportunities
to share and learn with a cadre of hard-working
scholars and students. Added benefits to studying
in Hawai'i are the strong support from the State
of Hawai'i and our ample community resources.
Beyond the campus, we have many Korean civic
and cultural groups and lots of Korean markets,
where an abundance of Korean goods and Korean
life can be found.
The faculty of the Center for Korean Studies is anxious to support students in their academic pursuits as much as possible—after all, we were all once students ourselves. The Center offers an array of scholarships and grants to make study and research time easier. Consider applying for these special CKS scholarships if you are interested in applying to the University of Hawai'i. Good luck with the application process, and let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ho-min Sohn
Director
The Center for Korean Studies
