Handong Global University in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, is pursuing a globalization strategy that goes well beyond conventional student exchanges — aiming to become a hub connecting Christian universities, professionals and organizations across the globe.
“We envision the university becoming a hub that opens a new chapter in global Christian higher education by expanding partnerships not only with institutions in advanced countries, but also with universities across developing regions, including Africa and South America,” Park Seong-jin, the university's president, told The Korea Times in a recent interview.
Park said the school plans to establish joint-degree programs with leading Christian institutions in the United States, including Liberty University and Wheaton College, to deepen academic collaboration and global connectivity.
"Our goal is to create a campus where Handong students can venture out into the world while talented students from across the globe come to study at Handong," he said.
