-Based on the 2009-2010 assessment data, the Korean Section Faculty will be discussing what modifications to be made to the program.
-At present, there are 53 Korean BA majors including 21 BA Flagship students. In order to better serve their interests and needs, we have improved on faculty advising. All I-2 and above faculty are now advising our majors. Under the new advising system, each faculty member advises 8-12 students regularly. The 21 Flagship students are currently advised by two full-time Flagship Center faculty.
-It is important to promote research activities in our upper-level courses where substantial use of the target language is required (See SLOs 4&5). It’s one of the institutional goals to promote undergraduate research. We will be discussing the possibility of developing a capstone procedure where student senior work is produced in a designated capstone course and evaluated by the instructor and his/her advisor.

[Flagship] UHM’s Korean Language Flagship Center launched a Bachelor of Arts degree in "Korean for Professionals" program in 2008. For the first time, seven Flagship students with a Bachelor of Arts degree in "Korean for Professionals will graduate in Spring 2011.
