Who Will Receive 97.5 Million Won in Incentives?... Dong-A University Holds Best Department Awards Ceremony

Six Departments Selected for S Grade by Academic Division

Dong-A University (President Lee Haewoo) announced on March 4 that it had held an award ceremony to recognize the best departments, which received an S grade by academic division in the department evaluation.

Dong-A University conducts an annual department evaluation to strengthen the university’s competitiveness through an autonomous competition system among departments and to systematically manage performance by linking external evaluations and educational projects such as university institutional accreditation, Glocal University Project, and University Innovation Support Project.

At the 2025 Best Department Award Ceremony held on March 3 in the main conference room of the university headquarters at the Seunghak Campus, a total of six departments received certificates and incentives: the Department of Media and Communication and the Department of Tourism Management (Humanities and Social Sciences); the Department of Fashion Design, Department of Food and Nutrition, and Department of Architectural Engineering (Natural Sciences and Engineering); and the Department of Industrial Design (Arts and Physical Education).

This year, a total of 97.5 million won in incentives will be awarded to excellent departments, including 12 outstanding departments, to provide financial support for improving educational conditions.

The 2025 department evaluation was conducted in three categories: 'Education and Educational Outcomes,' 'Research and University-Industry Collaboration,' and 'Department Operations.' The comprehensive evaluation was based on 16 indicators, such as student enrollment rates, employment rates, research and university-industry achievements, and department-specific accomplishments, with differentiated scores according to the characteristics of each academic division.

The six departments selected as the best demonstrated well-balanced achievements across all evaluation indicators, with particularly outstanding competitiveness in areas such as student enrollment rates, employment rates, attracting international students, and department-specific accomplishments.
