Ajou's School of Business Administration is EPAS accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development 2016-03-08 The School of Business Administration under Ajou University was accredited for its bachelor degree program by EPAS, an international business and/or management program accreditation system operated by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EFMD is a leading international network of graduate schools of business administration and corporate members. It contributes to establishing and developing educational standards and improving the quality of business and/or management programs. Last November, EFMD sent a four-member team to Ajou for the purpose of on-site evaluation as part of the accreditation process. Accreditation of the University program was then officially confirmed in February after review and a vote at its Board of Directors meeting. About 100 institutions in 34 countries have gained the EFMD accreditation, and Ajou's School of Business Administration is the first among Korean universities to be accredited for the bachelor degree program. Yonsei University, Korea University, and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology received the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation from EFMD, a combined certification of undergraduate and graduate programs. The EPAS accreditation follows an integrated endorsement in 2014 of Ajou's undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration from the Korean Association of Business Education Accreditation (KABEA). Dean Bong Heui Han of the School of Business Administration said, "The EPAS accreditation is an international recognition of the excellence of Ajou's business administration program," adding, "It is expected to further expand our global network, help attract excellent students from home and abroad, and boost our efforts to align the business administration programs to the global level."

Ajou's Digital Humanities Project Group under the College of Humanities successfully holds the '2016 Korea-China University Students Exchange Camp' 2016-02-23 From January 4th to the 8th, Ajou University's Digital Humanities Project Group (Director Kyung Hoon Jung) under the College of Humanities held the '2016 Korea-China University Students Exchange Camp' together with Peking University in China. From Ajou University, a total of 22 people participated in the Camp, including 17 students from the College of Humanities and 5 professors of the Digital Humanities Track, and they took part in an academic seminar with students from Peking University and visited Korean companies in China and local cultural assets, etc. The academic seminar for undergraduate students, which was co-hosted by Ajou's Digital Humanities Project Group and the China Development Institute of Peking University, was attended by six teams from Ajou University and five teams from Peking University to present on their respective research about cultural phenomena and industry, and humanities. An interesting contrast between their presentations was that Peking's students used surveys and statistical analysis as the key methodology, while Ajou's students adopted data-mining analysis by collecting Big Data from the Internet and literary texts. Presentations and discussions during the seminar were all conducted in English. It was a follow-up event under the MOU on mutual cooperation in education and research, which was signed in January 2015 between the Digital Humanities Project Group and the China Development Institute. Based on the camp’s success, the two organizations agreed to conduct regular academic exchanges between students from the two universities.
