[2023 Early Admission] Mokwon University Establishes College of Webtoon, Animation, and Game

Mokwon University will recruit 1,825 freshmen for the 2023 academic year. In the early admission process, 1,790 students (98.08%) will be selected through various tracks such as student record-based, comprehensive student record, and practical/performance-based evaluations. Established in 1954 as Daejeon's first private university, Mokwon University is nurturing future-oriented convergence talents.

To strengthen departments in the cultural content field, which have high educational demand from students and future industry workforce needs, Mokwon University will establish the College of Webtoon, Animation, and Game in the 2023 academic year. The university expanded and reorganized the webtoon (comic) major and animation major, first introduced in the Daejeon area in 1999, into a full college.

The College of Webtoon, Animation, and Game is divided into the Webtoon Department, Animation Department, and Game Content Department. Applications will be accepted from September 13 to 17. Mokwon University has been consecutively selected for major projects such as the Digital Video Content Specialized Excellence University, the Local University Competency Reinforcement Project (NURI Project), Content One Campus, and the Webtoon Experience Center. Starting from the 2023 academic year, Mokwon University will also establish the Game Software Engineering Department within the College of Engineering to cultivate talents in game programming, which is essential for the rapidly growing global game industry.

Mokwon University is also achieving results in industry-academia cooperation that combines cultural arts and engineering technology. It was selected for the Ministry of Education-led ‘Leading University for Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation Development Project’ (LINC 3.0) and will receive a total of 12 billion KRW in support over six years until 2027. Osanghoon, Director of Admissions, stated, "One of Mokwon University's strengths is operating an educational curriculum that integrates knowledge from diverse fields such as cultural arts, humanities and social sciences, science and technology, engineering, and education. Through educational innovation, including a ‘Microdegree (credit-based degree system)’ program that allows students to complete minimum credits in a short period and a major convergence-type bachelor's structure, we support students in developing competencies in two or more job roles."
