SAIS has offered courses on Korea for many years as part of its Asia offerings. Now, in acknowledgment of the increasing political and economic significance of Korea, educational activities regarding Korea have been enlarged. In 2003, the Korea Initiative was launched as an interim program to enhance students’ understanding of the nation. In 2006, the school took a large stride forward with approval of Korea Studies as a regular program, allowing students for the first time to concentrate in this area. Typical Korea Studies Courses - Contemporary Korea in Historical Perspective
