Master in Socio-MBA리더십학과

Handong Global University's Socio-MBA Leadership Department (Socio-MBA리더십학과) offers a master's degree taught in English on its campus in Pohang, South Korea. This program combines business administration training with a focus on social impact and leadership development, preparing graduates to manage organizations that pursue both financial sustainability and social good. Coursework in a socio-MBA track typically covers core business subjects such as accounting, finance, marketing, and organizational behavior, layered with subjects specific to social enterprise, including impact measurement, ethical leadership, nonprofit management, and strategies for balancing mission with revenue generation. Students also study leadership theory and practice, examining how managers build teams, navigate organizational change, and lead institutions through periods of growth or crisis. Many programs of this type include case studies drawn from social enterprises, cooperatives, and mission-driven companies, alongside more conventional corporate case material. A master's degree combining business and social leadership training generally results in graduates who can move between the private sector and mission-driven organizations. Career paths include management roles at social enterprises, positions in corporate social responsibility departments, nonprofit leadership, and consulting focused on socially responsible business practice. Some graduates go on to found their own social ventures, applying both the management skills and the social-impact frameworks gained during the degree. The program runs for four to six semesters, with new students admitted in either February or March. Because it is delivered in English, the program draws an international cohort studying alongside Korean students, reflecting Handong's broader emphasis on values-based leadership education. Graduates leave with both the technical toolkit of an MBA and a grounding in leading organizations that measure success by more than financial return alone.
