Cultural arts' energetic step toward national KU, global KU.

Above the history of 100 years, Korea University(KU) is up and coming as a global university entering the new millenium.

Formerly the Fine Arts Department which carried 4 majors of oriental-paining, western-painting, carving-and-modeling and design when it was separated from the college of education in 2000, Formative Arts Department has been reorganized into two majors (formative-arts major, industrial-information-design major) in 2007. Now in 2011, reformed School of Art&Design offers you a new curriculum and new educational environment to provide a promising basis for global art and design college.

Industrial & Information Design major seeks to provide advanced educational programs which encompass traditions and cutting edges, and cover various areas of industrial design including interiors, graphics, interface/interaction, entertainment etc. Formative-arts major promotes higher quality education by developing variety of subjects that reflect fluxing cultural environment while bringing in specialties from the western painting, carving-and-modeling, oriental-painting majors.
