In particular, starting this year, the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies is established with the purpose of supporting students to design their majors suited to their aptitudes with sufficient time. The Department of Creative Arts Interdisciplinary Studies is based on the College of Fine Arts and Design and the College of Webtoon, Animation, and Games. It provides students who wish to advance to related majors the opportunity to select departments and majors that match their aptitude and demand.
