Recently, Korean society has gone through radical changes as globalization, polarization, low fertility rate, and family disorganization. It is also time for the field of social welfare to make changes. Therefore, the Graduate School’s Interdisciplinary Program in Social Welfare Policy at Yonsei University is putting a great deal of effort to cultivate global leaders who can bring advances in social welfare worldwide. For this purpose, we have engaged leading universities abroad and extended the opportunities for overseas education for students who are enrolled in the doctoral program. Furthermore, we have continued overseas recruitment activities in order to attract excellent foreign students. Through these efforts, it will be possible to improve the integration of social welfare approaches against new social problems and increase the efficiency of overall welfare expenditure in our society.
