About Our Major

Korean Trade & Commerce.

Korea is currently the 15th largest economy in the world and is considered as an emerging economic powerhouse, leaping toward Asian leadership with its neighboring countries as China and Japan.

The growing importance of the Korean economy rises the need for professionals in international trade focused on Korea. By anticipating the trend and responding to a new vision for the role of Korea in the 21st century, SONAS, for the first time ever, introduced a new in-bound program, Korea Trade & Commerce, intended for foreign students. SONAS expects to deliver relevant talents who will become experts not only in Korea but in the expanding field for international trade.
