Taejae University’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences is dedicated to cultivating forward-thinking leaders with a comprehensive and sophisticated understanding of human nature, culture, and interactions in society. We firmly believe that a solid education in the humanities and social sciences is essential for developing creative and critical thinking, effective communication and collaboration, and an appreciation for diversity, empathy, and sustainability—all of which are indispensable human skills and values in the era of artificial intelligence.
Students completing our program will have developed these key competencies:
Think creatively about key concepts and theories in their chosen areas of interest and use this knowledge to solve real-world problems in innovative ways.
Gain a greater awareness of diversity, empathy, and sustainability and be able to positively impact domestic and global affairs based on these values.
Develop their own critical perspectives and understanding of human beings and society.
Improve their communication and collaborative skills through open discussion and respect and empathy for others.
