Academic Programs - College of Literature

We mature daily by understanding and accepting one another, learning that each person has a different background and values. In this college we nurture students through classroom studies and extracurricular activities. Students study, think, and hold discussions with people from different backgrounds and from other countries. In specialized courses, students work and play with children in order to develop their abilities to teach various subjects, including English. These activities help students foster a broad perspective and a deeper understanding of others, regardless of their background.

Department of Contemporary English

The curriculum of this department is designed to produce graduates equipped to work using English as an international language. Classes are offered to systematically develop specific English skills in such fields as business, tourism, media, and English language education. Students in this department have opportunities to study at our sister universities. Through the semester study abroad program, students attend Oklahoma Christian University in the United States and improve their English abilities while deepening their international understanding. Furthermore, through the dual degree program, students study either at Oklahoma Christian University (USA) or at Hanseo University (Korea) and earn two bachelor degrees, one from IC and the other from one of the other institutions. There are several other exchange programs which provide students with academic study in Asia, North America and Europe.
