The Justice and Civil Leadership major aims to prepare students for careers in the fields of public administration, law and regulation, international affairs, media and communications, business, social welfare, and a variety of other public and private sector professions. The major will assist in preparing students for careers in central or provincial government agencies, international organizations, consulting firms, corporations, non-profits and non-governmental organizations, academia, research, policymaking and planning, etc.
The JCL major delivers the transdisciplinary education necessary to succeed in rapidly changing professions and post-graduate studies where capacities for precise, creative, and swift analysis, along with verbal and written communication skills, outrank compartmentalized knowledge. Graduates of the JCL program will thrive in any profession which values autonomous learning, critical analysis, and innovative thinking. While many students major in the JCL with a view to preparing for laws schools and other post-graduate programs (several graduates have attended Korean and foreign law schools and other graduate programs), others choose the JCL because it prepares them well for the rigors of the business world and the public sector (e.g., innovative start-ups and United Nations Governance Officer).
