Chung-Ang University, Private university in Dongjak District, Seoul, South Korea
Chung-Ang University is a private institution in Dongjak District, Seoul, bringing together twelve faculties on an extensive main campus. Modern buildings with lecture rooms, laboratories, and a research center called Centennial Hall shape the grounds.
The institution started in 1918 as a kindergarten within Chung-Ang Methodist Church and grew over decades. Educator Louise Yim led the transformation into an official university in 1953.
The name combines "Chung-Ang," meaning "center," with Methodist roots from its early years. Today students from Korea and many other countries meet in lecture halls, libraries, and along the paths between faculty buildings.
The campus sits centrally in Seoul and is reachable by subway and bus lines. Buildings spread across different areas, so a map helps with navigation between faculties and research facilities.
A blue dragon serves as the symbol of this institution and stands for the values upheld here. The CAU AI+X system links artificial intelligence with different degree programs and brings new technology into the curriculum.
