History Makers. We Change the World!Welcome to SUNY Korea.
President of SUNY Korea Arthur H. Lee, Ph.D.
As the first and largest American university established in Korea, SUNY Korea proudly delivers world-class academic programs in partnership with two flagship institutions of the State University of New York (SUNY) system—Stony Brook University (SBU) and the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).
Located in the dynamic hub of Songdo International City, SUNY Korea is a gateway to global education, research excellence, and transformative innovation across the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Management (STEAM).
In today’s rapidly evolving world, where the most pressing challenges transcend disciplinary boundaries, SUNY Korea is firmly committed to an interdisciplinary, STEAM-centered approach to education. Our students are inspired to think critically, act creatively, and lead with vision and empathy. We believe that innovation thrives at the intersection of rigorous science and imaginative artistry—where leaders are shaped not only by knowledge, but by character.
Rooted in Korea’s rich legacy of advancement through education, SUNY Korea continues this tradition by nurturing the next generation of global changemakers. Our mission is guided by three foundational principles: “Live With and For Others”, “Holistic Education”, and “Shared Prosperity”. These values define the way we teach, learn, and lead together.
With students from over 70 countries, SUNY Korea is proud to be a truly international university. We cultivate a vibrant, inclusive academic community where diversity, collaboration, and integrity are at the core of every experience. Our faculty and staff are passionate about student success—through exceptional teaching, mentorship, and groundbreaking research.
Our graduates, now advancing industries and institutions around the world, carry forward the spirit of SUNY Korea: grounded in knowledge, guided by values, and empowered to shape a better future.
I invite you to explore SUNY Korea—an institution where bold ideas are born, refined, and realized. Join us in building what comes next.
