[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Department of Military Science at Gyeongnam Information University (President Kim Dae-sik) is celebrating the success of having four students admitted to the Korea Army Academy at Yeongcheon.

Gyeongnam Information University announced on the 3rd that in the 2023 academic year regular admission for cadets at the Korea Army Academy, second-year students Choi Yeon-seong (23), Jeong Ju-chan (23), Kim Min-gi (23), and Lee Do-won (23) were finally accepted.

Considering the ratio of students from specialized colleges in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) area, this is known as an excellent acceptance rate. Entering the Korea Army Academy is a shortcut to becoming a junior officer, making it an important target for each major department at the university.

The Korea Army Academy offers a cadet course through 21 majors across 11 departments for 3rd and 4th-year students, awarding dual degrees in general bachelor's and military bachelor's degrees, and commissions graduates as second lieutenants in the army upon graduation. It is a cradle for elite officers and a training ground for mid-level military leaders.

The Department of Military Science at Gyeongnam Information University has already secured career paths for 18 students, including five commissioned in the army, five in the navy, and eight in the marine corps as military scholarship students (military service non-commissioned officers) among its enrolled students.

Choi Yeon-seong, who achieved a quadruple crown by passing as a military scholarship student in the army, navy, and marine corps (military service non-commissioned officer) and regular cadet admission to the Korea Army Academy, said, “Thanks to the department’s extracurricular program called ‘GO MILITARY,’ I achieved good results.”

Choi said, “Upon hearing the news of my regular cadet acceptance, I decided my career path without hesitation,” and added, “If there are juniors who wish to become officers, I would strongly recommend the Department of Military Science, which has a tradition of transferring to the Korea Army Academy.”

Professor Jeong Yu-ji, head of the Department of Military Science at Gyeongnam Information University, said, “We are continuously developing educational programs to nurture talented individuals armed with a spirit of sacrifice and service for the country,” and added, “Our department will enhance competitiveness through customized programs so that more than 50% of students from Bu-Ul-Gyeong universities can enter the Korea Army Academy.”
