KUBS Signed International Partnership Agreement with Washington University in St. Louis
On June 16 (Fri), Korea University Business School (KUBS Dean=Professor Soo Young Kwon) signed an international partnership agreement with Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis (Olin), situated in Missouri, United States.
Marking the 60th anniversary of the “Washington University Project,” which contributed to the development of Korean business studies in the past, the agreement was signed again for the first time in 60 years. △Olin Dean Mark Taylor, △Chief of Staff Jessica R. Martin, △KUBS Dean Soo Young Kwon, △Professor Emeritus Dong Ki Kim, △Professor Emeritus Yoon-dae Euh, △Professor Emeritus Joon Bum Lee, △Professor Emeritus Ik-soon Cho, and △Professor Emeritus of Yonsei University Ki Young Kim attended the occasion.
The scope of the partnership includes academic exchanges such as △Student Exchange Program and △Joint Research Projects and Seminars. Each school can send up to ten students per year to study abroad at the other school. Exchange students can stay one semester and may request to stay up to one year.
“I have no doubt that both schools will actively interact and strengthen partnership through this agreement,” Dean Kwon said. “Just as Korean business education developed tremendously thanks to the Washington University Project 60 years ago, I hope we will be able to develop something new through these academic exchanges.”

Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) established a business school in 1917. The business school was named in honor of John M. Olin and in recognition of a gift from the John M. Olin Foundation. Olin has a total of 135 full-time faculty members and is ranked 22nd in the UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings, an indicator that evaluates faculty research performance.
Meanwhile, WUSTL contracted the “Washington University Project” to cooperate with Korea University and Yonsei University to develop business education. This contract was in line with the technical assistance program by the International Cooperation of Administration (ICA) in 1957. Accordingly, more than 10 WUSTL faculty members were sent in Korea and made a contribution to the progress of the Korean business schools.
