South Korea is a dynamic country with much to offer in learning and travel. Combining beautiful mountain ranges, traditional culture, and a fast paced life, South Korea has something for everyone. Business students are able to study and learn in an Asian Tiger Economy, which has played a key role in creating the Asian Economic Miracle.

The Republic of Korea is a small country on the far eastern edge of Asia. Although it ranks 109th in the world in terms of land area, the country is a center of economic activity, culture, and arts.

Today, Korea is an industrial nation standing tall on the world stage. Its semiconductor, automobile, shipbuilding, steel making, and IT industries area on the leading edge in global markets. It hosted the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the 2002 Korea-Japan FIFA World Cup. More recently, Korean dramas, movies, and music are attracting a large following in Asian countries and beyond, creating what is being called the “Korean Wave.” Korea’s new standing in the international community was highlighted in 2010 with the nation becoming the first Asian country to chair the G20 and host the G20 Seoul Summit.

Korea’s swift transformation into one of the world’s leading economies has made it an interesting case study for people from around the world. The development of the Korean heavy industry helped the growth of industrial tourism, and today, Korea dominates the steel and ship building industries worldwide.
