Faced with the rapidly changing higher educational environment, the Catholic University of Korea always listens to the voice of educational beneficiaries - students and their parents - and strives to make “the right changes” in which the students stand in the center.

History

The university traces its roots to St. Joseph's Seminary in Baeron, a Catholic refuge in modern-day Jecheon, North Chungcheong province. It was founded in 1855 before Christianity was legalized. After the legalization of Christianity, the school moved to Yongsan-gu, Seoul, in 1887, and was renamed Seminary of Sacred Heart of Jesus. A hospital associated with the seminary was opened in 1936.
