Dept. of Economics
Introducing our department.
Economics is the only discipline in the social sciences that has been awarded the Nobel Prize for its rigorous logic and rationality.
In a nutshell, economics finds and studies ways to appropriately solve economic and social problems that arise in the process of allocating limited resources.
The department offers a wide range of economics seminars and operates a practical economics education program that allows students to discuss, research, and present economic issues by topic.
Educational Goals
Every human being will lead an economic life, and in this life, due to the scarcity of goods, they will face the economic problems of poverty and distribution. Therefore, the economic objective of the state is to achieve the maximum happiness of the many through efficient resource allocation and fair income distribution. To realize this objective, four economic goals must be achieved: price stability, full employment, stable growth, and balance of payments equilibrium.

American Economics Doctoral Preparation ClassThe American Economics PhD Preparation Class, created in 2014, is a circle whose goal is to apply to a doctoral program in the United States during their senior year before graduation and skip the master's program in order to enter a doctoral program in the United States with a full scholarship. Since the circle started, not a single student has dropped out, and all of them have gone on to prestigious universities with full scholarships. When entering a doctoral program in the U.S., graduate students receive the title of Teaching Assistant or Research Assistant and are fully exempt from tuition, health insurance, and other expenses. In addition, they receive a salary ($17,000~$23,000/year) that is sufficient to live on each month, allowing them to devote themselves to their studies without worrying about living expenses.
