From this year, the UOS will establish a new department named the Dept. of Chinese Language and Culture.

The UOS already submitted a request of establishment to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development and has been waiting for approval. If approved, the UOS will select new students this year. If the new department is founded, other departments will have their total student numbers reduced. For this reason, the Departments of English Language and Literature, Korean Language and Literature, Korean History, Philosophy and Business Administration should slightly reduce their capacities.

The reason for this is that the total student number should remain fixed. An officer concerned said "We decided to make this department as our school needs to exchange with many universities in China. It would help us balance out other departments."
