State University of New York (SUNY) Korea is the university’s first international campus established outside of the United States, built in 2012 in the smart city of Songdo. The inception of SUNY Korea comes as part of an effort to deliver a world-class education globally, while keeping the same rigorous education standards of the main campus in New York.
One of the advantages of studying at SUNY Korea is the possibility to study in both the Korean campus and the U.S. campus to add versatility and a global dimension to their degree. Both undergraduate and graduate programs are offered in a variety of majors including science, business, engineering and more, with the particularity of offering the only 100% English-taught Fashion Design and Fashion Business Management degree programs in Korea, at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Moreover, the degrees conferred by SUNY Korea are the identical to the degrees awarded in the U.S. home campus, so students can expect to receive the same high-quality education on the Korean campus as well.

The university application fee
This fee is charged by the university is separate and must be paid separately. It is non-refundable.
Visa application
Once admitted, you must separately apply for a visa in the Korean embassy/consulate in your country and we cannot help you with the process as every consulate/country is different. However, we will help you with Foreign Registration at the Korean Immigration Office once you are in Korea.
A guarantee for admission
Although we have a strong expertise in academic consulting and experience in successfully admitting students in the best Korean universities, the ultimate admission decision (as well as the scholarship decision) is made by the university alone, after a review of your profile.
