In addition, we expect that students read a wide range books in the field of humanities, including philosophy and literature. We strive to train outstanding experts in history education by focusing on enhancing the ability of students to explore history with autonomous discussions, literature research, and historical records studies, rather than injecting lectures. The Geography Education major aims to train experts in the field of geography education and geologists and conduct research. After graduation, students will work as experts in various fields, such as professors/lecturers at universities, government agencies and government-funded researchers, and regional experts, as well as social studies teachers in secondary school. To this end, knowledge is practically organized through discussions and seminars in the course of the curriculum. For example, geography education focuses on the analysis of textbooks and curriculums, and general geography focuses on researching Korea’s climate and topography and the current status of environmental problems and improvement measures. Human geography researches the urban development, economic and geographic status of each region, and urban regeneration in Korea. Regional geography researches the geographic characteristics, historical landscape and structural changes of each region. In addition, by conducting field surveys for each region, we promote practical understanding of the region and cultivate a view of the world and geographic imagination.
