Training is also provided at the graduate level, through specialized graduate schools of Education, Industry, Business Administration and Legal Affairs.
History
The university was established in 1991 by the Daesun Jinrihoe, a Korean religious group. The location was chosen due to its position near the midpoint of the line connecting Halla-san with Baekdu-san, and thus at the symbolic heart of the Korean peninsula.[3]
