Dongshin University

Dongshin University is a private university located in Naju, South Korea.

The university was established in 1987 and began as a college of engineering with a limited number of programs focused exclusively on engineering, with the purpose of training and educating students for employment in that discipline. Once the demand for higher education began to increase, the college pursued offerings in a wider range of academic disciplines, which the institution considered to be the foundation of its future development. Over the history of Dongshin University, it became known for offering new programs on a regular basis when warranted by demand. As anticipations for students in the job market and their workforce prospects evolved, so did Dongshin University. They made a commitment to build solid academic structures to accommodate the needs of students that were aligned with national and international standards set in higher education. Part of the larger development and growth strategy included student diversification not only locally, but from different nations and areas.

The recognition as a university will also enable the establishment of graduate level academic programs and substantiate the institution as a complete institution of higher education. With more funding and a broader mandate, the new institution sought to market itself as a leader in teaching and research on the world stage. Today, it is now a fully functioning institution with a good reputation for scholarship and a commitment to providing high quality education for its students. The university has maintained its focus on teaching and research, and understands that students need to be ready for the modern work force with the appropriate skill sets. The university's faculty and student body has continued to grow as a result of its commitment to academic innovation and community development. The university will continue to seek to prepare students for success, in an increasingly complex and changing world.
