Vital Information:
The educational
ideal of Hong Ik University is to forge the strongest possible link
between academia and industry to provide service for the benefit
of all mankind.
The name "Hongik", translated into English, literally
means "service to mankind." The University thus makes
provisions for, and gives scope to, diversified talents in preparation
for varied careers. In pursuing this ideal, students are first encouraged
to foster independent thinking, free from the influence of others.
