Taejae's Unique and
Comprehensive
Curriculum
Taejae University has five academic programs, beginning with our mandatory Innovation Foundations, which all students take in their first year. In their second year, students move to individual majors, each with a specialized curriculum aimed at fostering global leaders who will be The Next Answer to help build a healthy and harmonious future society.
All Taejae University students take part in our unique Global Engagement Program, affording them the opportunity to engage in a variety of valuable educational experiences at our residential campuses in five countries - Korea, The United States, China, Russia, and Japan.
First year students are required to take our Innovation Foundations program. In your second year, you will choose from one of four majors: Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and Business Innovation. Alternatively, you can design your own academic program.
One of the reasons why our curriculum is both unique and advanced is that our global engagement program
is integrated into every step of your academic journey, with the dual aim of deepening your understanding of diverse cultures and helping you to acquire theoretical knowledge and practical problem-solving skills. This program is complemented by a cutting-edge
metaverse campus,
empowering seamless collaborations and discussion among fellow students and faculty no matter where you are in the world.
Supporting the Success
of Student Leaders
Who Will Change
The World
Taejae proudly stands as the first Korean university to operate a hybrid campus, breaking down barriers to global learning.
Its commitment to world-class student support is evident through Education Innovation Institute, Student Success Institute, and Global Initiative Institute, each led by some of the world’s foremost professors and experts in areas such as student success, wellness, leadership, and career development.
Every program is thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of individual students, promoting growth and motivation.
In a bid to empower students to thrive as global talents without financial constraints, the university operates a comprehensive scholarship program.
Financially challenged Korean students and international students received a wide range of scholarships. Moreover, the program extends various forms of support, including the Work & Study scholarship, designed to assist with academic and living expenses, as well as scholarships for immersive experiences such as Silicon Valley on-site learning and the Europe Grand Tour.
Even after graduation, Taejae continues to provide support for its students. The scholarship system offers partial funding for outstanding post-graduate pursuits, including admission to top-tier graduate schools, opportunities within international organizations, and even entrepreneurship ventures.
