2. CURRICULUM

1) Program Background
KOICA-Yonsei master’s degree program in community development was created in 2010 as a
community development leadership program. Since then, the program has produced many brilliant
community development practitioners for developing countries. Strengths of the program include
Korean development experience, diverse students’ community and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Learning South Korea’s Community Development

The Republic of Korea, once among the poorest countries in the world until the 1960’s,
successfully overcame poverty to become one of the donor countries. Korea has achieved great
economic growth and democracy as well. Now it is at the leading edge in the development and use
of information and communication technologies. In particular, Saemaul Undong (means 'New Village
Movement') is one of the symbols of Korea’s development. It represents a strong social movement
that transformed Korea’s rural communities during 1970’s. It brought about increases in the
revenues of rural families and reductions in the income gap between the urban and rural residents.
A distinction of the curriculum is its commitment to exploring Korean development experience. A
hallmark of this program is teaching a bottom-up development strategy in Korea, which made a good
model for regional development in harmony with local organizations, co-operatives and social
enterprises. Throughout the coursework and thesis writing process, a significant emphasis is placed
on the role of local communities in Korean development for increasing the residents’ quality of life.

Students’ Diversity and Innovativeness

KOICA-Yonsei students come from all over the country and abroad. They are culturally
diverse and vary in their backgrounds, experience, interests, and education. Some comes
straight from urban settings, while others have substantial experience in rural areas. All the
professors and students share their experience and perspectives and pursue to develop
community development policies and programs in the contexts of their village, region and
country. This program is committed to action learning approach, which utilizes diverse human
resources and interdisciplinary courses, which provide students with opportunities to learn
innovative solutions, issues, and cases in relation to community development.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration

The program curriculum instill a multidisciplinary and problem-solving techniques, focus

broadly and inclusively on the issues, constituencies, and institutions engaged in community
life; encourage innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration. Professors from
multidisciplinary majors including public administration, economics, environmental science and

4
 agriculture designed the curriculum to make students equipped with both basic and advanced
theories and cases to deepen their understanding of how to transform communities and
societies. Another feature of this program is to have students stay and be trained at the Canaan
Farmers' School for summer session. Canaan Farmers' School is famous for its practical training
and disciplined life. Summer session concentrates more on the application of Saemaul Undong
spirit and principles in the daily life as well as its implementation with Korean village people near
Canaan Farmers’ School.

 Therefore, students should complete all their course requirements and thesis for graduation by
the fall semester of 2020 within 17 months. When they succeed in completing all graduation
requirements, they will receive the master diploma in August, 2021. Because the Korean
education law stipulates that a graduation certificate must be issued only after 18 months of study
have passed (that is, in the fourth semester). So, the spring semester of 2021 in the above table
is only to meet the requirements of Korean government’s education law.

Regular semesters (fall and spring) consist of 16 weeks, and students normally take 12 credits in
each semester. During the semesters, all classes will be open at Yonsei University Wonju Campus
except for summer session 2020.

During summer session, classes will be open at the Canaan Farmers’ School (see the details of
this institution on Part V) as well as in Yonsei University. Students will be able to select either
Canaan Farmers' School or Yonsei University according to personal interest and preference.
When they enter into the Canaan Farmers' School, the standard daily schedule here during the
session is as shown in the table below

Canaan Farmers’ School Standard Daily Schedule

Students must complete all semesters and sessions provided by the program during their study
period in Korea. Students can take quite a long break only after the winter and summer sessions
when no academic activities are made.

4) Graduation Requirements.
-In order to graduate, students must complete 46 credits, earn a GPA higher than 2.7 (higher than
B-), and submit a thesis.

5) Teaching Plan for Thesis Research

- Writing a thesis is required to obtain the Master of Public Administration in this program. Students
can surely learn a lot by writing the thesis. In particular, they can improve the research capabilities

7
 which are demanded for policy makers when they want to investigate and discover solutions to
the public issues in the more rigorous and systematic way.

- It is more desirable for students to begin their preparation earlier for writing a thesis earlier in
this program. As shown in the table below, students will be given time to think over the main topic
and major research methodology from the first semester. This program has many faculty
members who have long experiences in teaching and advising students to write a better thesis.
They will join a thesis review committees and provide the full support for students' work of writing
a thesis, which may be stressful but necessarily taken in the learning process.

- Major activities for thesis research are in the following table.

Christian missionaries. Its mission is to educate leaders who will contribute to mankind in the spirit
of “truth and freedom.” Around 300,000 Yonsei alumni who take this calling to heart can be found
manifesting this proud spirit from leadership positions around the world.
Yonsei’s main campus is ensconced in a spacious, picturesque and natural setting located
minutes away from the economic, political, and cultural centers of Seoul's metropolitan downtown.
Yonsei has more than 4,800 eminent faculty members who are conducting cutting-edge research
across all academic disciplines. There are 21 graduate schools, 22 colleges and 131 subsidiary
institutions hosting a selective pool of students from around the world.

3) Graduate School of Government, Business and Entrepreneurship

- The Graduate School of Government, Business, and Entrepreneurship researches and teaches
theories and practices in the changing society under Yonsei’s founding principles of truth and
freedom. It was established in March 1990 to contribute to social development by nurturing talents
with leadership, creativity, and capability.
The graduate school targets students who aspire to systematically and effectively study the new
areas to middle managers from all sectors. There are seven more majors (all Korean) in addition
to this program: economics and trade, business administration, public administration, educational
administration, political science, international welfare, and entrepreneurship. The graduates are
actively working in all corners of Korean society utilizing their capabilities that have been nurtured
throughout its master program.
In addition, in order to meet the trends such as democratization, localization, and globalization,
Yonsei developed a course for high-level executives based on its experience and strength in
education. Around 1, 100 students completed the short-term executive course over 23 rounds to
improve their leadership and capabilities.

 In September 2011 the graduate school opened a new Master’s Degree Program on Rural Society
Leadership Development for Global Poverty Reduction as a special program for government
officials who will play major roles in overcoming poverty in developing countries in the financial
support of KOICA. Now this Master’s Degree Program in Community Development is an extension
of former program. By transferring knowledge of community development to policy makers and
project managers from developing countries, this program will be expected to contribute to the
sustainable development of their own countries.

4) Canaan Farmers’ School

- Aiming to produce model communities of poverty eradication based on mindset transformation and
to raise leaders who would practice and live out the changed mindset, the Canaan Farmers’
School movement has played a crucial role since its establishment in 1931. It taught national pride
to the Korea public, stimulating them to work for poverty eradication through agriculture. The
movement later evolved into a social movement, encompassing every aspect of life, especially
through practical vocational training. It was also adapted as the role model for New Village
Movement (Saemaul Undong) education. Now, ten overseas branches of the Canaan Farmers’
School have been set up around the world.
