Dankook University, Yongin-Si, South Korea

Yongin-Si, South Korea

The foundation of Dankook University was first approved on November 1st 1947, its historical opening taking place at Nakwon-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on November 3rd of the same year. The founding spirit was that of National Salvation, Independence, and Self-Reliance. On February 10 1965, the college grew to the status of university. In 1978, the Cheonan Campus was constructed in order to expand the range of Dankook's social service capacity. The university secured new campus ground, thus having two campuses: Hannam-dong in Seoul and Anseo-dong in Cheonan, including the Cheongyang Pracical Training Farm. 

The founding philosophy of Dankook University – National Salvation, Independence and Self-Reliance – originates from the personal ideals which our founders Mr. Beomjeong, Chang Hyong and Mrs. Hyedang, Cho Huijae had cultivated themselves through turbulent times in Korean history. In addition to such ideals, Dankook University cherishes truth and service as its guiding principle. It is our belief that the purpose of research and study lies beyond simply acquiring tools for sustenance – the ultimate purpose of higher learning is the enrichment of human knowledge and culture.

The 12th school board resolved on November 10, 1994 that it would sell its Seoul Campus and relocate to a land around Jukjeon, in Gyeonggi-do. It was intended as a leap towards becoming an advanced, competitive university in this era of globalization and liberalization in the 21st century. The board applied for approval of the transfer plan to the Ministry of Education on November 15 in 1994. The ground-breaking ceremony for the new campus of Dankook University was held on July 19 in 1996.
