Yeungjin College Launches Library Literature and Creative Writing Major... "Assistant Librarian" Qualification Awarded Upon Graduation
Yeungjin College (President Choi Jaeyoung) will launch a new "Library Literature and Creative Writing Major" starting from the 2026 academic year, opening up new learning opportunities for adult learners. Recruitment for new students in this major began on November 7.
This newly established major offers a specialized curriculum that integrates library and information science with creative writing, consisting of practical courses such as Introduction to Library and Information Science, Public Library Studies, Reading Guidance, Picture Book Reading and Creation, and Independent Publishing Projects.
In response to the increased demand for librarian personnel following the recent opening of the Daegu Metropolitan Library and the expansion of public libraries, the program aims to cultivate field-ready professionals.
Classes will be conducted online during weekdays and in-person on weekends. Graduates will be awarded the nationally certified "Assistant Librarian" qualification. In addition, students can obtain related certificates such as Reading and Writing Guidance Instructor, Picture Book Education Instructor, and Reading Psychology Counselor.
In particular, collaboration and practical training courses with the Yeungjin College Library-which ranked first in the Ministry of Education’s university library evaluation (Junior College A Group, more than 4,000 enrolled students)-are considered a distinctive advantage.
