Woosong Online Curriculum
Our curriculum has been designed to cultivate intrinsic learners who can plan and manage their education upon enrolling in the chosen field. Your first two years with Woosong Online provides a solid base of knowledge in diverse areas. This allows you to interconnect information and gain a fuller understanding of your area of interest before you commit to any one program.
After students complete their first two years with our Woosong Online program, they can then transfer to one of several programs at our main university, Woosong University, or one of our global partners to complete their degree in person.
