Winter Study Abroad Programs in Seoul, South Korea

Travel to the "Land of the Morning Calm." South Korea boasts a temperate climate with distinct seasons, particularly its breathtaking spring and autumn. Enjoy plenty of opportunities to explore and discover the country’s exquisite beauty and rich cultural heritage through our Seoul program. This study abroad program comes with courses that offer interesting insight into the Korean language, religion, philosophy, economics, politics, and business. Attend classes at Yonsei University, located in downtown Seoul – a city of opposites. It features temples, city gates, and palaces amidst theaters, embassies, government offices, shopping centers, and modern buildings. Seoul is also home to numerous IT corporations and is emerging as one of the world’s most 'wired' cities. Such is its contrast to a nation with over 70% deep valleys and rugged mountain ranges in the eastern regions, along with a coastline featuring some of the world’s highest tides and dotted with bays. Korea’s eastern beaches are sandy, while the western side consists mainly of rocky shores and mudflats.

While wintering in Seoul, you will enjoy delicious street food, sledding, K-Pop concerts, and a warm-up in Korean hot springs. You will explore Korea’s dynamic destinations and experience all that is Korean culture while earning three credits. Yonsei is located in the Hongdae area of Seoul, known for its urban arts and music culture, local shops, and entertainment. Three other universities are neighboring the Yonsei campus, making the location one of the most fun places for students.
