[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Chung-Ang University will select 1,536 students in the regular admission process, offering a wide range of choices by selecting from all three groups: Ga, Na, and Da. In the Ga group, 487 students will be selected from the College of Humanities, College of Social Sciences, and College of Medicine. In the Na group, 535 students will be selected from the College of Natural Sciences, College of Engineering, and Department of Industrial Security (Natural Sciences). In the Da group, 514 students will be selected from the College of Business and Economics, College of Creative ICT Engineering, School of Software, and Department of Nursing.

A notable change in this year’s regular admission is that the College of Social Sciences, which was selected in the Na group last year, has moved to the Ga group. Additionally, two new departments, the Department of AI and the Department of Advanced Materials Engineering, have been newly established. Both will be selected in the Ga group.

Except for some departments and arts and physical education fields, all recruitment units will conduct open major recruitment (college-level recruitment). Students admitted through open major recruitment will apply for their first-year entry major at the time of the announcement of successful candidates. During the first year, they will explore various majors, and their major department will be decided upon promotion to the second year.

The CSAT general selection is based 100% on the CSAT scores. For humanities fields, the weighting is ▲Korean 40%, ▲Mathematics Type Ga or Na 40%, and ▲Social/Science Inquiry 20%. For natural sciences fields, the weighting is ▲Korean 25%, ▲Mathematics Type Ga 40%, and ▲Science Inquiry 35%. Additionally, English and Korean History, which are graded on an absolute evaluation basis, provide bonus points according to the grade. The method of applying English bonus points has changed, with different scores applied for humanities/arts and natural sciences fields. For humanities and arts fields, a grade 2 corresponds to 97 points and grade 3 to 93 points out of 100, while for natural sciences, grade 2 corresponds to 98 points and grade 3 to 95 points, showing an increase in bonus points compared to the previous year. For Korean History, humanities/natural sciences fields add up to 10 points for up to grade 4, and arts and physical education fields add up to 10 points for up to grade 5. The Department of Physical Education applies 80% CSAT scores and 20% document evaluation without practical tests.
