Educational objectives
- Intellectuals of culture with broad and profound knowledge
Through foundational liberal arts education, students develop the ability to deeply pursue their major studies, while cultivating broad liberal arts knowledge through general education, thereby fostering interdisciplinary capacities and character development through UOS liberal arts education. - Intellectuals who can connect academia with professional expertise
Through interdisciplinary major education, students develop the ability to understand how various academic specializations are interconnected to create new expertise, thereby fostering an understanding of the communication and intersection between disciplines. - Intellectuals who create new knowledge and expertise through cross-disciplinary research
Students develop the ability to creatively generate new knowledge and expertise by integrating different disciplines and knowledge.
Overview
School of Liberal Studies
The School of Liberal Studies was established in 2009 with the goal of nurturing creative and proactive future-oriented talent needed in modern society.
Here, students must complete a year of coursework that includes their chosen major and liberal arts courses (for first-year students) along with the UOS major exploration program. At the end of the academic year, they are required to select their desired major according to the department’s academic schedule.
After advancing to the second year, students are transferred to the department or major of their choice and follow the specialized curriculum established for that particular program.
School of Convergence
The School of Convergence aims to bolster students' integrative expertise required by modern society through interdisciplinary majors and interdisciplinary double major education.
The school fosters 21st-century intellectuals equipped with the ability to connect their expertise with other specializations and integrate knowledge from one field with knowledge from other fields to create new insights.
To achieve this, the school offers interdisciplinary majors as a double major option for all students, where the expertise of various majors converges to create new specializations to receive interdisciplinary double major education that combines one general major with one interdisciplinary major.
School of Advanced Fusion Studies
The School of Advanced Convergence aims to cultivate professional talents based on convergent knowledge to excel in various advanced fields, including industry and research institutions. The school offers biohealth convergence, advanced artificial intelligence, and intelligent semiconductor majors.
The biohealth convergence major cultivates talents through the integration of chemistry and life sciences for the development of new technologies in future healthcare.
The advanced artificial intelligence major trains talents who can solve various industrial and social problems based on artificial intelligence.
The intelligent semiconductor major cultivates professionals with the ability to design and utilize advanced intelligent semiconductors.
Students enrolled in each major can freely choose to double major or minor in other majors offered by the School of Advanced Convergence.
The school is expected to significantly contribute to the nation and society by training professionals with convergent competencies, in response to the growing societal demand for talent in advanced fields.
