Three weeks of Academic Achievement on Korean Culture and Arts The International Summer School (ISS) is a program for learning Korea, focused on its Culture in an international
context, and cultural experience for fostering understanding of Korean Culture and society. Everyday from late June
to early July, Chung-Ang University welcomes students from all over the world to its various courses, mostly
within Korean Culture and Society.

For the past several years many Asian, especially the South East Asian nations have been swept by "Hallyu", the
Korean Cultural Wave. Never before in history has one nation spread its culture to others within so short a period
and with such speed and enthusiasm, all thanks to rapidly developing telecommunication technology. Each year
tens of thousands of visitors from these countries have been streaming into Korea specifically to learn and
personally experience the wonderful culture and customs they were introduced by mass media. Chung-Ang University is particularly proud of this phenomenon, because for the past 80 years it has been forefront in cultivating nation's cultural heritage in traditional music, dance, drama, and other performing arts. Majority of
individuals responsible for the Hallyu are arguably CAU graduates. Chung-Ang University offers an opportunity to a selected group of international students to learn and experience the essence of the Hallyu through three-week summer program. During their short stay, students will have many
opportunities to immerse themselves in the culture and customs, learn its dynamic economy, politics, and
business and people. International students will be participating the summer program with Chung-Ang university
students who register for the program. Together they will form a "buddy" group to learn from each other Hallyu. Chung Ang University is providing our international students with a comfortable and safe housing nearby campus.
It always has been tradition of CAU to provide its many guest international students an excellent care in a small
family-style atmosphere. CAU promises a fun and exciting summer experience to all who come and join our
program. Perhaps, the best of the program is students earn 3 credits to transfer to their respective universities.
