Welcome to the School of Economics at the University of Seoul.

Our school is one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing institutions in the country. We have established ourselves as a leading economics department, recognized for excellence in education, research, and community engagement. This success is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our faculty—both past and present—our alumni, and the passion of our undergraduate and graduate students.

Founded in 1980, the School of Economics at the University of Seoul was created to address the growing demand for skilled professionals capable of contributing to the nation’s economic development. In 1984, we introduced our master’s program, followed by the launch of our doctoral program in 1987. The merger with the Department of Trade in 1995 further expanded our academic offerings. In 2010, we transitioned from the College of Business and Economics to the College of Political Science and Economics, a structure we continue to maintain today.

Today, our school comprises of 18 professors, 2 staff members, over 600 undergraduate students majoring in economics, approximately 400 double-major undergraduate students, and more than 20 graduate students. We are proud to offer outstanding research opportunities and educational programs that prepare our graduates for successful careers across diverse fields. Our alumni have made significant contributions in public organizations, private companies, prestigious domestic and international universities, central and local governments, and professional roles such as lawyers, certified public accountants (CPAs), and tax accountants.

We are deeply committed to continuous improvement and aspire to become the leading economics school in the nation. To achieve this vision, we will continue enhancing our educational programs, recruiting exceptional faculty members, supporting innovative research initiatives, and fostering a vibrant academic community through student activities. Your support and encouragement are invaluable as we strive toward these goals.

Thank you for your interest in the School of Economics at the University of Seoul.
