[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The National Suncheon University (President Ko Young-jin) announced on the 23rd that it has achieved 100% enrollment capacity for master's admissions in the '2022 Graduate School New Student Recruitment.'

Amid a nationwide average enrollment rate of 88.5% for general graduate schools last year due to a decline in the school-age population, the new student recruitment at Suncheon University Graduate School is drawing attention as a very meaningful result for a regional national university graduate school.

The National Suncheon University Graduate School announced that 14 students were admitted to the master's program through the general admission track, and 24 students were admitted to the doctoral program (including integrated master's and doctoral programs) in this late graduate school recruitment.

This year, 160 master's students and 72 doctoral students (including integrated master's and doctoral programs) registered, achieving a 100% enrollment rate for the master's program, 96% for the doctoral program, and a total enrollment rate of 98.7%.

Including international new students, the enrollment rate reached an impressive 110.5%, marking a remarkable achievement.

Suncheon University Graduate School provides various scholarships totaling approximately 1 billion KRW (an average of 1.95 million KRW per enrolled student), including academic excellence scholarships, university development foundation scholarships, low-income scholarships, and research promotion scholarships, effectively returning about 40% of tuition fees as scholarships.

In particular, students admitted through the combined bachelor's-master's program receive a full scholarship for the first semester, and students admitted through the combined bachelor's-master's and master's-doctoral integrated programs enjoy the benefit of shortening their first semester.

Suncheon University Graduate School Dean Kang Sung-ho stated, “We will increase university financial support so that Suncheon University Graduate School can become the mecca of higher education in the Jeonnam region, and continuously develop various majors demanded by the region.”
