[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Sookmyung Women's University has established advanced departments related to the 4th Industrial Revolution, such as artificial intelligence and big data, in the 2023 academic year admissions. The newly established advanced fields include ▲Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering ▲Intelligent Electronic Systems Major and New Materials Physics Major within the Department of Advanced Materials and Electronic Convergence Engineering, and ▲Computer Science Major and Data Science Major within the Department of Software. These majors were established to systematically nurture outstanding talents in response to the increasing demand for future advanced fields. Additionally, the proportion of early admission within the quota was reduced to 50.5% compared to 56.3% in the 2022 academic year.

The Comprehensive Student Record Admission (Sookmyung Talent I (Document Type)) selects a total of 161 students and recruits from natural science units excluding the College of Pharmacy. The Comprehensive Student Record Admission (Software Convergence Talent Admission), which was selected last year, has been abolished. The Comprehensive Student Record Admission (Sookmyung Talent II (Interview Type)) selects humanities units and the College of Pharmacy (no natural science units selected). Also, to reduce the burden on applicants, the self-introduction letter has been abolished. Both the Specialized High School Graduate Working Adult Admission and the Special Education Target Admission within the Comprehensive Student Record Admission have abolished the self-introduction letter. The Comprehensive Student Record Admission (Equal Opportunity Admission), which includes national veterans, opportunity balance candidates, and rural students, selects a total of 70 students from humanities and natural sciences (excluding the College of Pharmacy) and evaluates 100% based on document screening.

The Student Record Curriculum Admission (Regional Balanced Selection) selects a total of 254 students (246 last year). The selection method uses the converted rank grade, which is a weighted average of the rank grades of the reflected subjects in the student record by credit units. Using this, freshmen are selected 100% based on student record (curriculum), and the minimum CSAT academic achievement standard requires that for both humanities and natural sciences, the sum of grades in two of the four CSAT subjects must be within 5. For the College of Pharmacy, which selects 5 students, the minimum CSAT academic achievement standard requires a sum of 5 or less in three subjects including mathematics, and when selecting inquiry subjects, one subject is reflected. For the Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering, when reflecting the minimum CSAT grade, the mathematics elective is unspecified, and both social studies and science inquiry subjects can be reflected.

The number of students selected through the Essay Excellence Admission remains the same as last year, selecting a total of 227 students. The questions are designed to evaluate integrative thinking within the scope linked to the high school curriculum, and the weighting of selection elements has been adjusted from the previous essay 70% + student record (curriculum) 30% to essay 90% + student record (curriculum) 10%. Humanities and applicants to the Department of Clothing answer 2 questions, while natural science applicants (excluding the Department of Clothing) answer 3 questions. Both humanities and natural sciences may have detailed sub-questions. The minimum CSAT academic achievement standard remains the same as last year, requiring the sum of grades in two of the four CSAT subjects to be within 5 for both humanities and natural sciences. When selecting inquiry subjects, as last year, only the higher grade of two subjects is used to reduce the burden on applicants. The New Materials Physics Major plans to newly select 3 students through the Essay Excellence Admission, and for the Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering, when reflecting the minimum CSAT grade, the mathematics elective is unspecified, and both social studies and science inquiry subjects can be reflected.

The Arts and Creative Talent Admission selects a total of 126 students from the Department of Physical Education, Dance, Orchestral Music, Composition, Visual and Video Design, Industrial Design, Environmental Design, Craft, and Painting. The Department of Physical Education has abolished interviews and selects by combining 40% student record curriculum and 60% practical skills.
