Semester in Korea
The Semester in Korea gives students the unique opportunity to live and study alongside Korean other international students at Handong Global University (HGU). Living in the beautiful city of Pohang, South Korean, students have the opportunity to explore the rich cultural opportunities in the country. Handong offers courses in many majors, from engineering and psychology to art and business. The Semester in Korea is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

Step 1: Complete the internal approval process. See David Lee (CA 133) for materials and instructions (email: David.Lee@dordt.edu).
Step 2: Once you are internally approved, the Global Education Office will nominate you to HGU, and you will receive an email from HGU along with the application materials.
Once you submit your application and are admitted to the program, HGU will mail you a package with the following documents:
- MOU – Student Exchange Agreement between Dordt and HGU

You will need these documents to apply for the D2 Exchange Student Visa. Meet with David Lee to learn more about this process.
