Kyung Hee University established a new Student Record-Based Admission track for the early admission process this year. For the 2022 academic year, 3,079 freshmen, accounting for 57.9% of the total, will be admitted through early admission. The number of early admission slots has decreased due to the expansion of regular admission slots. The number of students admitted by each track is as follows: △ Student Record-Based Admission 555 students △ Comprehensive Student Record Admission 1,738 students △ Essay Excellence Admission 501 students △ Practical Skills Excellence Admission 285 students.


The Student Record-Based Admission track is open to prospective graduates of domestic high schools who have received a recommendation from their school principal. Each school can recommend up to 6 students (2 for humanities, 3 for natural sciences, and 1 for arts and physical education). Selection is based on the total score calculated by combining 80% of academic records from the school life record and 20% of non-academic activities (attendance and volunteer work), and applicants must meet the minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) score requirements. Non-academic scores are given full marks uniformly considering the COVID-19 situation.


The total number of students admitted through the Comprehensive Student Record Admission track is 1,738. Among them, the Neo Renaissance track has expanded the number of interviewees to four times the number of admissions and introduced a minimum CSAT score requirement. For humanities and natural sciences, the sum of two subject grades must be within 5, and for medical fields, the sum of three subject grades must be within 4. Interview time has also been reduced to 18 minutes for medical fields and 8 minutes for other departments. A total of 1,214 students will be admitted, which is 34 more than last year.

The Equal Opportunity Admission (I) will admit 241 students, and Equal Opportunity Admission (II) will admit 90 students. Students are selected through a comprehensive evaluation method rather than a multi-stage evaluation, with 70% based on document review and 30% on academic records. The Specialized High School Graduate Working Adults Admission track will admit 193 students.


For the early admission Essay Excellence track, the minimum CSAT score requirement has been relaxed for the humanities, and the number of essay test subjects has been reduced for natural sciences (excluding medical fields). For humanities and natural sciences, the sum of two subject grades must be within 5, and for medical fields, the sum of three subject grades must be within 4.



In preparation for the increasing demand for talent in big data and artificial intelligence (AI), new departments have been established: Big Data Application, Artificial Intelligence, and Smart Farm Science.
