Yonsei International Summer School (YISS) opened its doors in 1985; with its unique blend of Korean and global cultures, it has since become an integral part of campus life at Yonsei.

 

The 2016 program has been revamped in order to reflect students’ growing interest in the arts, culture, and humanities.

At the same time, YISS will continue to offer cutting-edge courses in management and economics, global issues, history and social science, and science and technology.
