Want to learn to speak Korean? You can complete a four-year curriculum of Korean language courses at UMass Amherst, in conjunction with the Five College Consortium.
The fundamental language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are addressed in every Korean language course. Lower-level courses have special emphasis on speaking and listening, while content-based language classes are offered at the advanced level, including “Korean Language through Korean Literature” and “Current Issues in Korea.”
Gain a deeper understanding of the Korean language by completing the certificate in Korean. We are currently in the process of developing a major and a minor in Korean.
Opportunities for you to enjoy a variety of cultural experiences are provided through our weekly tea meetings and an annual cooking class, New Year celebration, and speech contest.
