Program Overview

The CLS Program's Virtual Institute for Korean includes approximately 20 hours of language activities per week:

The CLS Virtual Institute for Korean is hosted by Chonnam National University (CNU), a conglomerate of 16 colleges and 11 graduate programs with histories dating back more than 100 years. Founded in a period of transition in Korea, CNU students played a large role in the nation’s development and thus put Gwangju at the front of the democracy movement.
