On December 4th at 11 a.m., the five universities in the Busan area signed an agreement in the graduate seminar room of Dongmyung University to share know-how on the development and operation evaluation of each university's liberal arts curriculum, as well as human and material resources.

These universities agreed to collaborate jointly to operate the liberal arts-centered shared university with the aim of improving the quality of liberal arts education and strengthening student capabilities.
