The summer program is designed to allow students to engage in lively interactions with peers and professors both inside and outside the classroom through enriching academics and experiential learning.

Academic Details:
With over 40 credit-bearing courses in 8 disciplines, courses at the ISC are carefully selected and taught by top professors from Ewha and prestigious professors from all over the world. The well-balanced and wide-ranging curriculum is open to both males and females and features a relatively small class size and faculty-to-student ratio that provides an intimate learning environment for students. In addition, EISC also offers Korean language classes that allow summer students to learn Korean at their appropriate level of fluency at both the ISC and SSP programs.
Students may take 1-3 courses from different categories to earn credits. Although most institutions outside of Korea accept the credits earned at Ewha ISC, students are recommended to check with their academic advisor before applying. Each course is worth 3 credits (45 hours). (Source: Ewha Womans University Website)
