Office of the President


Dear Vistior,

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Sehan University

Since its founding in 1994 by Dr. Kyungsoo Lee, who established the university with great passion, Sehan University has continuously evolved under the dedicated efforts and reforms led by President Seunghoon Lee, who served as the 5th and the 7th through 10th president. Today, the university operates three undergraduate colleges and ten departments across its Yeongam Campus in Jeollanam-do and Dangjin Campus in Chungcheongnam-do. It also offers 21 master’s degree programs, 8 integrated master’s and doctorate / doctoral programs at the graduate level. Furthermore, for over 20 years, Sehan University has been operating a Korea-China joint education program in collaboration with Tianjin Normal University in China, actively promoting tailored global talent development programs.

Sehan University is striving to become an employment-oriented university, helping ambitious and forward-thinking young people grow into customized talents needed by the nation and local communities. Our university is also expected by the community to contribute to regional development by fostering local talent.

To cultivate high-quality professionals, all our faculty and staff are united in effort and dedication to become a nationally recognized university for excellence in employment. Through the university specialization strategy, Sehan has already achieved significant results in this area. However, today’s higher education faces the continuous demands of change and innovation.

Upholding our founding philosophy and placing “student-centered education” as our core value, we are steadily building a monument of success. In 2019, we were honored as a university certified for excellence in educational internationalization. Yet, we are not complacent. Inspired by Toynbee’s theory of “Challenge and Response,” we are determined to face any change with courage—because success always demands a price.

We are not driven by short-term urgency but instead move forward step by step, following long-term plans and goals that prepare us for the future. Employment after graduation is the fruit of sweat and passion invested in the university’s curriculum. Therefore, during their time here, we will give our utmost to help students lay a solid foundation of academic achievement and independence, offering them a practice-oriented education.

In addition, our university will strengthen students’ fundamental competencies to become leaders in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and will invest all efforts into cultivating globally adaptive talents through international exchange programs and innovative ideas.

We hope that you will realize your dreams here at Sehan University, where hope for tomorrow awaits. Sehan University will always walk alongside you into a bright future.
