Course Load
Exchange students must take a full time course load of 9 to 18 Yonsei credits per semester.
Courses

For courses with pre-requisites, a student must have taken courses considered equivalent to the pre-requisites.
A course may have a capacity limit which, if exceeded, will make the course unavailable unless special permission is given by the instructor.
Exchange students may take any Yonsei courses, subject to approval and language of instruction.
