A partnership between Hanbat National University (South Korea) and West Liberty University was developed to build a beneficial exchange of knowledge between a West Virginia public university and a national university in the Republic of Korea.
“The new partnership means that many different types of academic collaborations will now be possible between Hanbat National University and WLU, including exchange student programs, research collaboration, and exchange of knowledge or coursework. – HBNU is a very global school, with more than 100 existing partnerships with colleges around the world.”
“Hanbat suggested a university-wide sharing since so many of our programs work well with their programs. This Memorandum of Understanding will grow and offer more of our students from all majors a benefit. Also, in the future Korean students will join us on the Hilltop and study here as the international exchange develops and grows.”
