My course & why I chose it...

Hello, I am Min Jeong, and my major is English Language and Culture.

Since I was young, I have been dreaming about becoming a hotel manager. A hotel is a place where a lot of people from many other countries come and continually interact. In order to communicate with foreigners, hotel managers should at least speak more than three languages fluently. I have chosen this major because English is a global language, which I wanted to learn more deeply.

Also, people from all over the world have their own cultures. Since we have to make those visitors comfortable, we should also know about their cultures. Our major has subjects like ‘Understanding English Culture’ and ‘Understanding American Culture.’ I thought that learning other people’s cultures would be important too.

Before graduating from the university, my goal is to learn English more deeply and be fluent in Japanese too. After graduation, I would like to go abroad and study in Switzerland, which is famous for hotel management. I would study hard and go to the best hotel management graduate school. Also, since I am interested in the environment, I have thought that making hotels eco-friendly is a good idea. Since Switzerland is also famous for their clean nature and eco-friendly hotels, I’m going to examine those hotels and see how they work.

Hi, I’m Ji Won. My major is Business. I can tell you three reasons why I chose this major. First, regarding my interests, I thought many enterprises are attractive, so I wanted to have a voice in management. Second, being a manager is a gainful occupation, if I make a lot of effort. Third, through my major, I can obtain qualifications to be an electronic commerce manager, distribution manager, logistics manager, management guide, a social survey analyst, information processor, internet information processor, a PMP (project management professional), a consumer financial manager, and so on.

There are many careers I can enter after I graduate, so I can apply easily. For example, I can apply in all sorts of places, such as financial businesses, general manufacturing companies, consultation companies, government circles, law firms, hospitals, information enterprises, and multinational companies. I can also enter professional management fields as a personnel specialist, strategy analysis specialist, customer service specialist, marketing specialist, or a management consulting specialist. I can also try starting a small or medium enterprise, venture into business, or continue to graduate school to gain more knowledge and experience. In business, personnel network is important. Management majors have various personal connections.

Before I entered as a CUK management student, I felt burdened. However, now I enjoy my classes and I want to finish my major in order for me to apply my education in real life situations. I really hope that I can share what I learned to the world in order to be the best creative marketer!

Why I chose my major?

Hello! My name is MinJi. I am a sophomore student in Fashion Design.

Do you want to be a fashion designer or a fashion marketer? Welcome to my major!

Many people think Fashion Design is just designing but it is absolutely not. We study all about fashion like the history of Oriental and Western clothes, designer clothes, illustration and making clothes. There are many job opportunities in fashion industry such as becoming a fashion designer, fashion marketer, fiber researcher and developer and professor in fashion institutions as well.

In my major, I do not have a dull time. I think students in other departments’ only study, but in fashion design we study and practice being creative at the same time.

Do you want to be an active person?

Do you want to live like Amanda in the movie “SEX AND THE CITY”?

Do you like fashion and clothes?

Welcome to the fashion and design Major!

Hi! My name is YeongWoo and my major is Social Science. The reason why I chose my major is because when I was in high school, my dream changed many times after I read the book “The Alchemist” by Paolo Coelho. My first dream was to become a writer. And then I wanted to study Philosophy and become a Philosopher because I saw similarities between writing and philosophy at that time.

Then one day, I finally realized that I’m interested in studying the human mind, especially dreams. So I made up my mind and wanted to become a Psychologist. For me to study Psychology, I should major first in Social Science.

Hi I'm SangA and I am a sophomore and I have double majors. My first major is Accounting, and my second major is Business Administration.

We study about Marketing, Managing Human Resources, International Business other related business courses. In preparing our business presentations as a team, we make new friends and we improve our presentation skills too. Class presentation is very interesting.

Accounting class is not as active as my Business classes, but it has a lot of charm too. Some people say "Accounting is similar to Mathematics." but it is not true. We use calculator, however calculation is not that complicated. We study Intermediate Accounting, Cost Accounting, Management Accounting, Tax etc. Though difficult, it is very interesting.

In high school, I was interested in Tourism and hated Accounting, but now I am loving Accounting. My dream is to become a Certified Public Accountant in the future.

Welcome to Faculty of Accounting and Business Administration!
