Since 1982, the Program in Korean Studies at Stony Brook has been a vital
hub both for academic and community activities related to Korea on Long Island.
As one of the
undergraduate minors of SUNY Stony Brook,
it currently offers more than a dozen
courses in
Korean Studies along with diverse opportunities for research of Korea and internships.
The Center for Korean Studies at Stony Brook has been established to pursue
advanced academic accomplishments in the field of Korean Studies, especially
those concern Korean religions and philosophy. Many
publication projects, including the ongoing Collected Works of Wonhyo project,
have been conducted by the Center; this has resulted in the publications of
dozens of books about Korea. It also provides a
visiting
scholar program promoting the intellectual exchange between Korea and US
academe; more than seventy prominent scholars from Korea have participated in
the program to date. In addition, as Stony Brook University currently has
sister
relationships with six universities in Korea, its
student
exchange program is currently one of the most vital aspects of the Center.
