KAIST College of Business


Introduction to KAIST College of Business

KAIST College of Business (KCB) is the 1st business school to be


established in Korea and has led business education in Korea since 1996,
fostering a mindset that can merge management and technology. After
its recent restructuring, KCB now houses two graduate schools: KAIST
Graduate School of Business and Graduate School of Finance.

KCB is located on a forested slope in the


northeastern part of Seoul, about 100 miles
from the main campus of KAIST. Seoul
reflects the economic dynamism of Northeast
Asia and allows students and faculty to
maintain both a global perspective and a
Korean base. In addition, our location in the
heart of Korea’s business and political capital
fosters close relationship with a large number
of companies and government organizations.
KCB shares numerous opportunities to meet
and interact with prominent business leaders
in the city.
