[2024 Early Admission Special] New Majors in Health, Safety, and Food Service... Mokwon University Emphasizes Expertise

Selecting 98% of Quota through Rolling Admissions
100% Document Review for Student Record Comprehensive Screening
Operating Convergent Modular Major Curriculum

Mokwon University will select 1,786 students, about 98% of the total quota, through the 2024 academic year early admission. Starting this year, the interview exam in the student record comprehensive screening has been completely abolished, and new majors in the fields of health, safety, and food service have been established.

The admission types include student record curriculum screening, which selects candidates based on 100% curriculum grades (curriculum screening, regional talent screening, curriculum interview screening, social consideration screening), student record comprehensive screening, and practical/performance-based screening (practical screening, practical curriculum screening, special talent screening).

This year, there are changes in the score reflection methods by admission type. For the student record curriculum screening, grades from 8 subjects are reflected, including the top 5 subjects regardless of grade level and the top 3 career elective subjects. Additionally, for the career elective subjects, the achievement level is converted into curriculum grades: A is converted to grade 2, B to grade 3, and C to grade 4 for scoring purposes.

The student record comprehensive screening selects candidates through a holistic evaluation method with 100% document review (curriculum and extracurricular activities). To reduce the burden of document submission for applicants, the stepwise screening and interview exams have been completely abolished, selecting candidates solely based on documents.

Mokwon University has established customized departments in fields with increasing demand to cultivate practical talents. In particular, to strengthen the health, safety, and food service fields where social demand is rising, the existing College of Technoscience has been reorganized into the College of Health and Safety. The College of Health and Safety has newly established the Department of Health Care Management, Department of Emergency Medical Services, and Department of Food Service Cooking and Baking.

A new academic system has also been introduced. Regardless of major, students can acquire an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Convergence Microdegree (degree per credit) and participate in modular major curricula that enable self-directed career planning. The Microdegree is a major convergence-type academic structure that allows students to complete a minimum number of credits in a short period, offering an interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates knowledge from various fields such as culture and arts, humanities and social sciences, and science and technology.

Osanghoon, Director of Admissions at Mokwon University, said, “One of Mokwon University’s strengths is operating an educational curriculum that integrates knowledge from diverse fields such as culture and arts, humanities and social sciences, and science and technology. Through the major convergence-type academic structure, including the ‘Microdegree’ (degree per credit) program that allows students to complete minimum credits in a short time, we support students in developing competencies in two or more job areas.”
