Two teams of eight Dongmyung University students are earning credits through a "textbook-free vivid experience" in the heart of the United States from the 13th to the 25th.

This program is a newly established field experience course where students gain experience at local universities and companies and receive grades of P (Pass) or F (Fail) instead of the usual A~F grades.

Additionally, Dongmyung University has been implementing the Cheonghaejin (Youth Overseas Advancement) University project for several years, focusing on the United States, Japan, Vietnam, and other regions.

In January 6, the university ranked first among private universities in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions with over 1,000 graduates, achieving an official employment rate of 66.2% based on 2021 data announced by the Korea Educational Development Institute (KEDI).
