On Friday, September 19, Korea University Business School held the 2026 Korea MBA (hereinafter K-MBA) Admission Briefing at the SUPEX Hall in the LG-POSCO Building. In his welcome address, Dean Eonsoo Kim remarked, “If you decide to join Korea University’s MBA program, we promise to be a steadfast partner on your journey. I hope today’s briefing session provides you with new vision and inspiration.” 

Professor Kwanghyun Kim then presented the vision of the K-MBA: “Business for Society, Inspiring Next Leaders.” He emphasized that the goal of the K-MBA program is not merely the pursuit of profit, but to explore business practices that contribute to society while nurturing the next generation of leaders in the process. He also highlighted the program’s key differentiating features, which include: ▲ The First and The Best MBA ▲ Cultivation of Competence and Insight▲ A Diverse Range of Programs ▲ An Exceptional Professional Network ▲ World-Class Faculty and Learning Environment 

Representing the student body, K-MBA Student Council President Mansung Park shared his reasons for choosing the K-MBA, confidently stating, “When it comes to an MBA, Korea University is the clear choice.” He introduced not only the academic rigor of the program but also the valuable learning opportunities gained through peer interaction. He also outlined the structure of the student council, which operates through four divisions, and described the vibrant networking environment fostered by career groups, club rooms, and various small-group activities. 

In the latter part of the session, a one-hour Q&A took place, during which participants actively raised questions on a wide range of topics—including networking, maximum course credits, class sizes, and independent research opportunities—covering all aspects of admissions, coursework, and campus life. 

The well-attended session offered participants in-depth insights into the K-MBA’s vision, distinctive program features, dynamic networking environment, and the diverse opportunities it provides for developing as future leaders. It marked a meaningful start for those embarking on a new challenge. 

Meanwhile, the K-MBA holds the distinction of being the first MBA program ever established in Korea. As the earliest MBA program introduced by Korea University, it embodies both tradition and leadership in the field. In addition to essential courses required for managers, the K-MBA offers a wide selection of elective courses that encompass various subfields of business administration, allowing students to freely choose classes that align with their interests and career goals. Furthermore, the K-MBA prides itself on its strong alumni network and sense of unity. This tradition begins with the orientation—where new and senior students come together to learn about Korea University’s history and cheering culture—and reaches its peak during the annual Korea-Yonsei Games. The alumni network currently numbers around 10,000, with graduates active across diverse industries serving as a reliable support system for their juniors. 

Applications for the K-MBA program are currently open from Monday, September 8, 2025, to Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Final candidates will be selected through a document review and interviews, with the final results announced on Friday, December 12, 2025.
