The Bachelor of Arts in Korean at Georgetown University's College of Arts & Sciences provides thorough training in spoken and written Korean while developing critical approaches to Korean literature, linguistics, culture, and history. The program includes intensive language study starting from beginner to advanced courses, a writing-intensive introduction to East Asian culture, and advanced coursework in topics such as Korean film, gender, business, religion, and current affairs. Students are required to complete at least one semester of study abroad in South Korea (typically at Yonsei University via CIEE, or other approved Korean universities), which may be extended to a full year. The curriculum consists of 12 required courses (including 8 language courses and departmental seminars, as well as culture, linguistics, or literature electives), culminating in a Senior Seminar paper or optional Honors Thesis. The major is open to non-native speakers and designed to promote multicultural and global perspectives. Admission requires strong secondary school preparation with recommended courses in English, social studies, modern language, mathematics, and natural science. International students must also submit translated official transcripts. Standardized tests and online applications through Georgetown's portal are required. For language placement, incoming students must take the Korean online placement exam unless exempted by prior coursework or native proficiency. 来源： https://college.georgetown.edu/advising/guide-to-reg/language-placement/
