All 142 Graduates Commissioned as Officers Since 2018

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Department of Military Science at Dongshin University continues its tradition of a 100% pass rate in the officer selection exam.

According to Dongshin University on the 29th, since the first graduating class in 2018 until February 2022, all 142 graduates from the 1st to 5th classes have been commissioned as officers with a 100% success rate.

All 30 students in the 4th year (6th class), 26 students in the 3rd year (7th class), and 33 students in the 2nd year (8th class) have already passed the officer selection exams for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

Among the 36 first-year students, 19 have passed the selection exam in less than a year and will be commissioned as officers upon graduation.

The remaining 17 students are also striving to maintain the 100% pass rate tradition by aiming to pass the officer selection exam before graduation.

Those who pass the military scholarship selection exam receive support covering four years of university tuition as well as additional allowances, and are commissioned as second lieutenants equivalent to grade 7 public officials immediately upon graduation.

The Department of Military Science at Dongshin University has established a systematic education system to maintain the high pass rate, starting physical training and officer selection exam preparation concurrently with classes upon admission.

Additionally, a graduation certification system is enforced, requiring at least 1st Dan in Taekwondo, a top physical fitness grade, TOEIC/TOEFL scores of 650/550 or higher, and acquisition of computer proficiency certification.

Through these efforts, graduates have achieved notable accomplishments such as top Army officer commissioning (Presidential Award), top Marine Corps officer commissioning (Minister of National Defense Award), Army Chief of Staff Award, and top commissioning at the Army Mechanized School (Infantry School Commander's Award), demonstrating the strength of Dongshin University's Department of Military Science.

Ryu Tae-woong, head of the Department of Military Science at Dongshin University, stated, "By selecting outstanding students, providing various scholarships, securing the best faculty, offering optimal facility support, and introducing innovative educational programs, we will uphold the tradition of 100% pass rate among enrolled students and become the nation's top officer training institution."
