Top Grade Obtained in Educational Innovation in 2024 University Innovation Support Project Evaluation
Ewha Womans University has received the highest rating of S-grade in the 2024 University Innovation Support Project Evaluation announced by the Ministry of Education, specifically in the field of educational innovation.
Ewha was highly praised for its proactive implementation and successful operation of flexible academic systems, including the introduction of the Scranton College interdisciplinary major in 2009 and integrated selection for regular admissions by academic division in 2018, both of which ensured complete freedom of choice in students’ selection of majors.
In particular, the university was recognized for its excellent multifaceted support to ensure the successful adaptation of students into their freely-chosen majors, such as strengthening the operation of the support system involving advisors, adjunct professors, and mentors; offering personalized support to help freshmen adapt to university life; facilitating networking and community-building among senior and junior students; operating courses designed for major exploration; offering programs focused on major counseling and exploration as well as establishing data-based support systems.
The efforts to ensure the sustainable operation of the autonomous major selection system also positively impacted the overall results of the performance evaluation. This was achieved by categorizing students’ experiences of adapting to university life and exploring majors through policy research projects based on six years of accumulated operational data, which enabled the design of customized roadmaps for each category in order to facilitate systematic support.
Additionally, Ewha was recognized for its excellence in establishing a systematic governance structure for collecting feedback from the university community, driving educational innovation, and offering a diverse range of convergence education programs.
President Eun Mee Kim stated, “Since 2018, Ewha has been leading the way in open-major integrated admissions through the HOKMA College of General Education and working to foster future-oriented convergent talents. I believe these efforts have led to our impressive achievements.” She added, “We will continue our commitment to developing an innovative research and education platform aimed at establishing a future-oriented educational ecosystem.”
