Drake is accepting applications through Via Global for DU Korea: Drake Semester in Seoul, where you can study abroad in spring 2027 in the bustling capitol of South Korea!
This upcoming spring, a cohort of Drake students will participate in internships in Seoul and study at Konkuk University with Drake Professor of Business, Kelley Ellis. Students enroll in one Drake course and round out their semester credits with a 6-credit custom internship placement + 1 or 2 local classes, or study full time and choose from a variety of courses taught by Korean and international faculty. Konkuk University courses and internships can be pre-approved to count towards your major(s), minor(s), and/or AOIs.
Drake course offered:
BUS 198: Business for Good Lab
AOIs: Engaged Citizen, Values & Ethics
When studying abroad on DU Korea: Drake Semester in Seoul, students are billed Drake tuition and keep their financial aid package, making your experience abroad comparable in cost to staying right here in Des Moines. In addition, we award about $200,000 in Global Learning Scholarships every year!
