Singing is the art of expressing our thoughts and emotions by means of the human voice. It is often said that natural talent is the most essential thing needed for singing. However, training the voice is not just done to improve the voice but the skill with which one employs the voice. Aspects of linguistics, phonetics, physiology, and acting are also essential in voice training. The Voice Department offers various courses to train students to become well-poised in these areas. Students have opportunities to show what they have learned on the stage of operatic and art song concerts.

The Piano Department equips students with performing techniques as well as theoretical knowledge to give them the potential to become performers, collaborative pianists, or educators. We train students at several levels of performance study in which students are assigned repertoires carefully selected to develop their potential. In addition, students build a balanced body of knowledge through various classes, such as Piano Literature and Music Analysis, so that they will come to understand how to interpret music and the proper style for certain musical eras.

The Orchestral Instruments Department fosters the study of the violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, saxophone, horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, harp, and percussion. Numerous opportunities to appear on stage as soloists or in groups help students improve their performing techniques. For the same reason, we provide individual lessons, chamber music classes, and orchestra rehearsals. Through such activities, we arouse student interest in chamber music and orchestral music, the fields in which most students will be involved after graduation.

The Composition Department nurtures students as professional composers who have logical thinking, skills in expression, and creative minds. In order to do so, we deal with the general social aspects of music, such as history, sociology, philosophy, and education, as well as musical aspects like music theory, analysis, composition, and recital. Through these classes, students obtain the varied academic background necessary not only to be poised creators of music, but also to be valuable members of society.

The purpose of this major is to develop intellectual, appreciative, and technical approaches to painting and its relevant art forms. Exploring not only conventional art forms like drawing and printmaking but new media such as film, video, installations and computer assisted art, our students delve into new means of expression. In harmony with modernity, through their work, students develop their own personal identities.

This major remains future-oriented and frequently introduces new courses in line with the needs of the times. Pertinently fusing the theoretical with the practical, it focuses attention on art training within the rich diversity of media available. It also aims to nurture promising and up-and-coming artists and professionals who are in demand in society. It does so by stirring up creativity and an experimental spirit based in technical mastery.

The goal of the Theater Department is to cultivate creative performing artists with a balanced experimental and theoretical background, allowing them to become actors, directors, creators, or educators after graduation. To train actors, the department provides dramatic and artistic education for students who aspire to perform in theatrical plays, musicals, broadcasts, movies, and other media. Instruction is based on the internationally approved Linklater voice technique and offered alongside professional acting, movement, and singing education. Students take a wide range of courses, including community theater, capstone design, directing, performance creation, performance production, and production practice, while also studying theater history, western drama, Korean theater, and theater education. The department cultivates talented artists with expertise in the theory and practice of creating and planning artistic performances.

The Film Department aims to produce graduates with the expertise necessary to lead cultural development by providing them with specialized instruction on movies, broadcasting, TV dramas, game videos, IT content, and other areas of multimedia. The purpose of such instruction is to train creative experts, such as movie and broadcasting directors, editors, artists, producers, and movie critics, who have the necessary skills to lead the movie and broadcasting industries. The department does not seek to merely develop artists skilled in simple techniques, but to discover talented students who can express aspects of modern human life in increasingly meaningful and unique ways via human-centered global education and exploration. Through partnerships with production companies and broadcasting networks, the Film Department helps students cultivate practical abilities and find employment in related industries.
