WELCOME
to the Graduate School of International
Studies (GSIS) at Ewha Womans
University.
Ewha GSIS also strives to provide students with financial support. Currently about 80% of students in
international studies and 48% of students in Korean studies receive financial support either through
scholarships or by working as a teaching or research assistant. Ewha GSIS is well designed to meet the
diverse needs of the students. Graduate seminars offer in-depth academic exposure as well as extensive
student engagement through low student-to-faculty ratio. Ewha GSIS courses rigorously train students’
analytical capacities as well as develop practical skills to prepare students for an increasingly globalized and
competitive work environment. Ewha GSIS students also undertake domestic and international internships
through their graduate studies to hone their professional skills.
In 2013, Ewha GSIS became the only graduate school of International Studies in Korea to receive a BK21
Plus Grant from the Ministry of Education through the National Research Foundation. The BK21 Plus Grant
provided scholarships to the majority of our students and funded various domestic and international
student activities. In particular, the grant aimed to develop experts in the area of public-private
partnership. Ewha GSIS is also the only school in Korea with dual M.I.S. degree program in conjunction with
the Elliott School in George Washington University (Washington, DC). After completing three semesters at
Ewha GSIS and two semesters at the Elliott School, students receive two Master’s Degrees in International
Studies.
Ewha GSIS is the hub for training 21st century global experts and is the strategic choice for women seeking
the best education, the most dynamic atmosphere, and the greatest competitive edge any program can
offer. In short, Ewha GSIS is the only program of its kind in Korea to offer exceptional leadership
opportunities and courses specifically geared for women leaders.
