“The second of its kind in the nation — which will give UW-Madison students a new way to pursue intensive study of Korean language and culture — adds to the university’s reputation as a foreign-language leader. ”

The University of Wisconsin-Madison will soon launch a new undergraduate Korean Language Flagship Program, becoming the second Korean Flagship in the nation.
With a grant from the National Security Education Program, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures and the Language Institute in the College of Letters & Science will create the new Korean Flagship, designed to prepare undergraduate students of any major for professional competency in Korean by graduation.
“This ambitious new program will offer unprecedented opportunities for UW-Madison students to study Korean language and culture on campus and overseas to a level that few other U.S. citizens achieve,” says Dianna Murphy, Director of the Language Institute.
