Welcome Message from the Dean

Modern society is quickly shifting into an information society. This information society is expanding through the roles played by mass communication, including computers, computers, telecommunications, and new media. A so-called 'New Era' is emerging in which all social activities, including economic, political, cultural, and educational ones, are driven by information technology and new mass media.

Paying attention to these global changes, the Graduate School of Communication & Information focuses on fostering experts who will research the drivers and key details of these changes and develop visions and policies to build a new society. The goal of the graduate school is to develop experts in the fields of newspaper and broadcasting, advertising and public relations, information management, and publication and magazine, by having students learn academic principles, research policy alternatives, and strengthen their practical skills.

The graduate school is particularly focused on contributing to national development and the construction of a welfare society by fostering and re-educating highly competitive professionals who are needed in tandem with the spread of convergence in mass communication, including newspapers, broadcasting, and publication. Opened in 1987, the graduate school offers majors in Newspaper and Broadcasting, Digital Convergence, Advertising & Public Relations, Publication and Magazine, and Printing and Imaging Engineering. The school has graduated approximately 1,000 students, who are now active in all parts of society. Currently, all these courses are available only for M.A. degrees.

I ask our graduate school students to take a leading role throughout the process of building a future society.

In particular, students study, through research from economic and historical perspectives, the appropriate direction of publication policies in the informatization society, focusing on government policies related to the Korean publication industry.
• Publishing of Ubiquitous Age
  Students analyze materials that are needed to devise publication policies and formulate strategies by forecasting and assessing cases related to social changes in preparation for a new publication paradigm, resulting from influence of digital convergence owing to the spread of networks and convergence of information technology. The purpose of this course is to have students develop a broad view by analyzing trends in domestic and overseas publication policy implementation to present a vision for the ubiquitous publication era. Students also use in-depth approaches for pattern changes in ubiquitous-based production planning, editing, production, and marketing.
