The Department of Modern and Classical Languages at George Mason University has launched a new Master of Arts in Foreign Languages with a Concentration in Korean (한국학 석사), marking a significant milestone for Korean Studies at the university.
The program offers special strengths in critical cultural studies, translation studies, diaspora studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to Korean studies. Students benefit from Mason's location and access to the academic and cultural resources of Washington, D.C., as well as the Songdo Mason Korea campus. The program prepares graduates for careers in federal and local government, the private sector, non-governmental and international organizations, educational institutions, and the translation field.
