About the Program

International education management focuses on how universities, colleges, and educational organizations plan and administer programs that serve students across borders. Doctoral study in this area typically covers higher education policy, international student recruitment and support, cross-cultural program design, educational leadership, and research methods for studying institutional practices in global education. Students learn how institutions build partnerships across countries, manage accreditation and quality assurance, and support students studying outside their home countries. Graduates from doctoral programs in this field often pursue careers as university administrators, international education consultants, policy researchers, or faculty members studying higher education systems. Woosong University offers this doctoral program in International Education Management in Daejeon, South Korea, over three years, with intakes in March and September. The program is taught in English, allowing international doctoral students to study education management without first needing to complete coursework in Korean, though some Korean proficiency supports daily life in Daejeon. Students in this business administration doctoral track typically progress through advanced coursework before conducting independent research, culminating in a dissertation addressing a specific problem in international education administration. This program suits applicants who hold a relevant bachelor's or master's degree in education, international studies, business, or a related field and who want to build research expertise in managing international education programs while studying at Woosong University in South Korea.
