The Department of Business Administration is a practical academic field that studies corporations. Examining a company’s departments, we find finance, accounting, advertising and public relations, strategic planning, production, and human resources. The specialized areas of business administration correspond to these departments, including financial management, accounting, marketing, strategy, production management, and human resource management. The Department of Business Administration is organized with faculty capable of providing balanced education across these areas. These efforts also led to the department becoming the first national university to achieve SQF certification in business education.

Professor Yoon-Goo Lee (Ph.D., Sogang University), who previously served as an exchange professor at Iowa State University, is in charge of financial management. Strategy is taught by Professor Jae-Won Hwang (Ph.D., Yonsei University), who has experience working at the Lotte Group. Marketing is led by Professor IhnGoo Lee (Ph.D., Sogang University), former head of the marketing team at Kumho Group. Production & operations management is overseen by Professor Soo H. Kwak (Ph.D., Korea University), who has worked at a multinational consulting firm. Accounting is taught by Professor Hayeon Park (Ph.D., Sogang University), a distinguished scholar who combines rigorous theory with practical expertise and has produced exceptional research outcomes. Financial Management is taught by Professor Byung-Kwon Lim (Ph.D., Chungnam National University), who has extensive practical experience at the Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) and the Korea Housing Finance Corporation. Human Resource Management and Organization is taught by Professor Hyang-Suk Jeon (Ph.D., Seoul National University), who brings extensive industry experience from her work in the Management Innovation Team at Hyosung Group.

Professor Byung-Jip Jang, who previously served as a faculty member in the department, was elected as the 5th president of Korea National University of Transportation, contributing significantly to its integration and development.

The department’s competition clubs have achieved notable success, including the SR President’s Award from SR Co., the Excellent Award from the Korea Academic Society of Business Administration, and the Excellent Award from the Korea Production & Operations Management Society. The accounting club has also won awards in the Accounting Information Practice Competition. Recently, graduates have gone on to become CPA (certified public accountants) and CTA (certified tax accountants).
