“The Korean language program in the Department of Asian Studies is one of the fastest-growing language programs at UBC”
The Korean language program caters primarily to non-heritage learners at the lower levels, but more ambitious learners should enroll in the upper level courses. Beyond just the linguistic competencies of reading, writing, listening and speaking, the program offers courses in Korean history and literature.
