Message from the President

  Since its founding in 1948, Myongji University has contributed to Korea’s future by educating over 150,000 individuals of practical intellect, guided by the principles of Christianity. Today, Myongji graduates make meaningful contributions across various sectors of society, embodying God’s love and purpose while serving as catalysts for progress in Korea and beyond.

  Celebrating its 77th anniversary this year, Myongji University remains committed to advancing its vision for the future. Since the establishment of the MJU2025 Development Plan in 2016, followed by its first phase of enhancement in 2019, the university introduced the MJU2025 3.0 plan in 2022. This plan adapts to the rapid changes in education and government policies while further enhancing Myongji University’s unique capabilities. MJU2025 3.0 not only builds upon the founding principles of the university but also presents new directions that meet the demands of our evolving times. It encompasses four primary strategies—education, research and industry partnerships, specialization, and university administration—along with 20 major initiatives and 57 detailed actions. Myongji aims to rank among Korea's top 10 universities by 2025, paving the way for a promising future.

  To build a student-centered, future-oriented education system, Myongji University is expanding academic flexibility to enhance student autonomy, creating platforms to foster creative and interdisciplinary talents, and adopting data-driven systems to support student and faculty development. Furthermore, by strengthening its research infrastructure and fostering industry-academia collaboration, the university is driving regional development and industrial growth. With a specialized curriculum centered on the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as well as innovative programs driven by AI and big data, Myongji University is committed to cultivating future-ready, interdisciplinary talent.

  Additionally, to build a sustainable university management infrastructure, Myongji University is securing financial stability and operational efficiency while fostering an Open Campus model based on transparency, communication, and collaboration. As a result of these efforts, the university has not only achieved significant progress in education, research, and administration but has also strengthened its internal foundation through strategic partnerships with leading external organizations.

  Moving forward, Myongji University will continue to lead in shaping the future society through robust education, outstanding research, and remarkable achievements. It remains committed to cultivating competent and ethical individuals who contribute to global peace and the advancement of human culture. We kindly ask for your continued support and encouragement as Myongji University strives to not only become one of Korea’s top 10 private universities but also establish itself as a world-class academic institution.

Thank you.

President of Myongji University
