Bachelor in Underwood Division(UD)

The Underwood Division at Yonsei University is a liberal arts and interdisciplinary program that allows students to build a course of study spanning the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences rather than committing to a single traditional major. Students typically take a broad set of foundational courses before selecting a concentration area, developing skills in critical thinking, writing, and research that apply across disciplines. Coursework often includes seminar-style classes with an emphasis on discussion and independent inquiry, encouraging students to make connections between fields such as literature, economics, politics, and science rather than studying them in isolation. This flexible structure is designed to give students a broad intellectual foundation while still allowing for depth in an area of particular interest. Graduates of interdisciplinary liberal arts programs pursue a wide range of careers, including roles in business, government, media, non-governmental organizations, and research, as well as further study in specialized graduate programs. The breadth of the curriculum is intended to prepare students for careers and fields of study that were not necessarily anticipated when they began their degree. This bachelor's degree is offered by Yonsei University, located in the Seodaemun-gu district of Seoul, South Korea. The program runs for eight semesters, or four years, with intake in March or September. Instruction is delivered in English, allowing international students to pursue a liberal arts education without needing to first learn Korean. The division's flexible, interdisciplinary structure is intended to prepare graduates for varied academic and professional paths.
