Chosun University (朝鮮大學校)
Chosun University is one of the oldest and most prestigious private universities in South Korea. Its campus is situated in Gwangju metropolitan city, in southwestern South Korea. The current president is Joen Ho-Jong. Around 32,000 students are enrolled. "Chosun," the very word that has shared joys and sorrows with our people from the dawn of history, means “the sun-rising morning,” a symbol of the progressive spirit of our nation. The members of the Founders’ Association chose it as the name of the institution because it best conveys the members’ wishes to bring up elites who could be the warp and woof of national prosperity and world peace.

Chosun University was founded by the Chosun College Founders' Association. The Association was formed in May 1946, and rapidly gained members throughout Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Jeju provinces. According to the school website, "membership rose to more than 72,000 by the end of 1947." The first classes of the school, then called Kwangju Evening Academy, were held on September 29, 1946. It was renamed Chosun Academy shortly thereafter, and became a college in 1948. It became a university at the beginning of the 1953 school year, at which time the graduate school was also established.
