The College of Humanities educates and conducts research on linguistics, literature, philosophy, history, and sociology. Fostering new intellectuals with refined knowledge on humanities, the College of Humanities aims to help realize the ideals of humanism ultimately. Graduates from the College of Humanities have made significant contributions to the development of both national and international communities, not to mention the local community, providing expertise in various fields.

In particular, Jeju National University has run the ‘Program to Foster Specialists on Cultural Contents, Planning, and Promotion’ together with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province since 2010 in order to offer more job opportunities for those majoring in the humanities and social sciences.

The Department of Sociology has conducted research on the ‘Public Management of Nature and Sustainable Life-Style’, participating in the state-funded ‘Social Sciences Korea (SSK)’ Program over the past three years. The research grew to be a medium-scale focused research project in September 2014. Furthermore, the ‘Project Management Group Cultivating Creative Talents on Local Cultural Contents’ led by the Department of Korean Language & Literature and the Department of History was selected to receive national support under the state-funded ‘University for Creative Korea (CK)’ Program this year. With this as a momentum, the College of Humanities will lead the education of talented individuals, specializing in cultural content through creative courses on humanities.
