Yeungjin University, formerly Yeungjin College, is a private technical college located in Buk-gu, Daegu, South Korea. Information technology is the principal academic focus; however, courses of study in other fields such as nursing and international tourism are also provided.
History
Founded on March 12, 1977, the educational foundation pioneered Korea’s first “customized education” model, in which companies could request and secure the training of future employees in advance. This innovative approach transformed higher education in South Korea and was subsequently adopted by universities across the nation. Today, this model has evolved into what is widely known as industry-academia cooperation, becoming a fundamental framework of university education and playing a significant role in the industrial development of the Republic of Korea.
