Each major focuses on cultivating professionals in social welfare and senior welfare to address an aging society, entrepreneurship and asset management, youth guidance and lifelong education, as well as family and youth counseling and well-being.

Glocal Life College offers new students a 50% tuition scholarship, and current students can receive the same benefit for up to eight semesters if they maintain a certain academic performance. In addition, further support through national scholarships is available, significantly reducing the financial burden.

Classes are structured to accommodate the lifestyles of adult learners, with full-day Saturday sessions and concurrent online lectures. The active incorporation of field-focused discussions, presentations, and practical training enables practical education linked to professional work. Customized academic management that considers both working professionals and homemakers is receiving positive feedback from learners balancing work and study.

The college recruits applicants from diverse backgrounds through admissions tracks such as the Lifelong Learner Track, the Special Track for Mature Students, and the Special Track for Employed Graduates of Specialized High Schools.

The first application period runs from Monday, September 8 to Friday, September 12 at 6:00 p.m., with details available on the Daegu University admissions website.

The main target groups are adults wishing to continue their studies after high school and working professionals who have built careers in various fields of society.

In particular, those with at least three years of work experience in industry, self-employed individuals, and those with military service experience can have their service recognized as work experience, providing practical opportunities for working adults.

Yang Heungkwon, Dean of Glocal Life College at Daegu University, stated, “Glocal Life College at Daegu University will serve as a stepping stone for adult learners to open a new chapter in their lives, going beyond simply obtaining a degree,” and added, “As a hub of lifelong learning, we will do our utmost to nurture talent that leads the region and society.”
