Inha University Establishes 'Major Design Center' to Support Students' Major and Career Exploration and Planning

Inha University announced on the 21st that it has established a Major Design Center to help students create their own customized academic plans through exploring various majors.

The center provides personalized major counseling and major introduction programs to support students in independently exploring and designing their majors and career paths. Expert research professors with high understanding in various major fields offer tailored major counseling and guidance considering students' interests, aptitudes, and career goals.

Additionally, through fairs such as department (major) introduction exhibitions, students are given opportunities to explore career paths related to various majors and obtain information. The center also plans to hold major design meetings where graduates and senior students participating in double majors share their experiences to enhance understanding of the double major system and majors.

For students to focus on their studies at university and ultimately choose their desired career paths, it is important to establish a systematic plan for academics and majors. Especially with the Fourth Industrial Revolution increasing demand for convergent talents equipped with diverse competencies, students need to design their majors and careers based on a concrete understanding not only of their own major but also of other majors they are interested in.

Inha University expects the center to act as a lubricant, helping students develop their capabilities from understanding themselves to exploring majors and careers and planning their university life.

Jo Myung-woo, President of Inha University, said, "After entering university, students face many concerns about their majors and career paths and have difficulties finding solutions. The Major Design Center will help maximize students' capabilities by utilizing excellent educational and academic systems such as double majors."
