Kwangwoon University Publishes Brochure on Comprehensive College Admissions for Students, Teachers, and Parents

- Ninth Series: 'Discovering Myself on the Path of My Career' -

- A Guide to Career Exploration and College Preparation Presented by Career and Education Experts -

This year, Kwangwoon University released the ninth series of "Comprehensive College Admissions Stories” to help students, teachers, and parents prepare for college through career exploration.

With the gradual introduction of the high school credit system, the curriculum has changed, allowing students to choose their courses based on their career goals and aptitude. Therefore, one of the biggest concerns of high school students is what their career path is and what subjects they should choose according to their career path. Now, first-year students will have to choose their courses from sophomore year. This is especially true as students’ course selections significantly impact evaluations in comprehensive college admissions. Teachers and parents also face challenges guiding students through this subject selection system.

First of all, many changes are expected to occur in relation to the "2022 Revised Curriculum" and the full implementation of the high school credit system, so the brochure's first topic is "The Direction and Issues of the High School Credit System and Career/Educational Planning" to understand education policy. From a student’s perspective, high school life is a process of career exploration, so the brochure provides understanding of the overall picture of high school curriculum for first-year students and offers methods for discovering one's career aptitude and interests during class time for second and third-year students.

In addition to classroom instruction, the brochure covers how to explore careers through subject-related reading activities and creative activities. In particular, it provides detailed information on less-known career exploration tools and online information.
