Kyungin Women's College

The history of Kyungin Women’s University begins in November 11, 1991 when the establishment of Kyung-in Women’s College was approved. The opening ceremony took place in February 2, along with Inauguration of the first president, Gil-Ja Kim. In 1995 the Affiliated Kindergarten was established with adjusted quota of 4 class 160 persons, and the Adult & Continuing Education departments of KIWU with adjusted quota of 6 courses, 25 subject, and 760 persons. In 2012 it was renamed to Kyungin Women’s University.

As time goes by, the institution changed the name of a number of departments and added new ones, thus increasing admission quotas. Nowadays, there are more than 28 departments in such spheres, as Nursing, Tourism, IT, design, Society and Administration, Child Education, and Art, Music & Physical Education.  

Kyungin Women’s University was established based on human qualities, such as Justice, Love, Truth, and Creation as well as the basic principles of the Korean education system so that it can research professional knowledge, theory, and actual tasks in diverse aspects of Korean society for the ideal formation of humanity and foster the professionals required for the development of national industries.
