The Changwon University Admissions and Employment Headquarters stated, “The competition rate for this regular admission increased by nearly 1 point compared to the previous year, ranking first among four-year universities in the Gyeongnam region and high within the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam area,” adding, “This appears to be the result of momentum gained from the Glocal University Project and the university’s full-scale transformation projects.”
They also said, “Beyond being recognized as a representative case of overcoming the crisis caused by the declining school-age population, we will do our best to become a world-class university that nurtures the best talents.”
