'''Korea University''' ('''KU''', {{korean|고려대학교|3=Goryeo Daehakgyo}}) is a [[private university]] in [[Seoul]], South Korea. Established in 1905, the university was named after [[Goguryeo]].<ref>{{cite web |script-title=ko:고려대학교의 탄생 |url=http://www.inchonmemorial.co.kr/html/inchon/inchon_story07.html |access-date=3 August 2023 |website=The Inchon Memorial Foundation |publisher=[[The Dong-A Ilbo]] |language=ko}}</ref> The university is one of the [[SKY (universities)|SKY universities]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=How the 'SKY' universities dominate |language=en |website=[[Korea JoongAng Daily]] |url=https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2003/01/27/features/How-the-SKY-universities-dominate/1925863.html |access-date=2022-04-28}}</ref>

==History==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Western pavillion.jpg|thumb|left|College of Liberal Arts]] -->

===Bosung College===
Korea University was established on May 5, 1905, as Bosung College by [[Yi Yong-ik|Lee Yong-Ik]], Treasurer of the Royal Household. The first College President was Hae-Uoung Shin. As an academic institution of nationalistic origin, it was regarded as a symbol of national pride during the [[Korea under Japanese rule|colonial period]] (1910–1945).<ref>{{cite web |title=About KU{{!}}History{{!}}Outline |url=https://www.korea.edu/mbshome/mbs/en/subview.do?id=en_010802000000 |access-date=2022-04-28 |website=www.korea.edu |language=ko}}</ref>

Shortly after Bosung College was established, the "Korea–Japan Protocol" was signed, and Lee Yong-Ik went into [[exile]] to lead the resistance movement against Japan. His exile created financial hardship for the institution. The [[financial crisis]] was overcome when [[Son Byong-hi|Sohn Byong-Hee]], a leader of [[Cheondoism|Chundokyo]], a nationalist, religious, and [[political movement]] at the time, took over the management of the institution. By 1929, the institution once again faced a serious financial crisis as a result of the worldwide [[recession]]. This was alleviated when [[Kim Seong-su]] became the president of the college in 1932. At that time, Kim was managing Choong-Ang High School and ''[[The Dong-A Ilbo]]'', a daily newspaper. In 1934, the main building was completed on a 63,000-pyeong area of land located in [[Anam-dong]]. Construction of the library started in 1935 to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Bosung College and was completed two years later. In July of the following year, a large [[Playing field|athletic field]], was added to the campus. In April 1944, the [[Korea under Japanese rule|Japanese colonial government]] forced Bosung College to change its name and placed it under the supervision of the Japanese authorities. Following the legacy of Bosung Professional School, the predecessor institution was placed under the management of a foundation and relocated to a vast area in [[Anam-dong]], where remarkable facilities were established.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-10-03 |script-title=ko:[정경연 풍수기행] 고창 인촌 김성수 생가, 북향 명당… 청룡·백호가 감싸 보국 형성 |url=http://www.joongboo.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=1290974 |access-date=2023-11-21 |website=중부일보 - 경기·인천의 든든한 친구 |language=ko}}</ref>

===Modern Era===
Following independence in 1945, the status of Bosung College was elevated to that of a [[university]] comprising three colleges, Political Science and Law, Economics and Commerce, and Liberal Arts. The goal was to create a major cradle for nurturing talented individuals and cultivating national culture. Upon liberation from the fervent longing for independence from Japan, in the year 4279 by the traditional Korean calendar (1946), Bosung Professional School was reorganized and elevated to Korea University. This expansion significantly enhanced its offerings and scope, reflecting the grand ambitions of its founders. Hyun Sang-Yun, the first president, initiated an expansion of the campus by purchasing forest and land. In June 1949, Korea University awarded its first [[bachelor's degree]] and in September of the same year, the graduate school was established. Yu Chin-O, the fourth president, continued to expand Korea University with the establishment of the Division of [[Science]] within the College of [[Liberal Arts]], as well as a fourth college, the College of [[Agriculture]].<ref name="korea.edu"/> After that, Kim Seoung-su, the founder of Korea University, became the [[Vice president|Vice President]] of [[Government of South Korea|Government of Korea]]. This influenced the Korea University's development.<ref>{{Cite web |script-title=ko:세계가 부러워하는 대한민국은 왜 과거에 빠진 '선동 천국' 됐나?

In June 1961 the present Liberal Arts building (Seokwan) was completed. Various facilities were also completed such as the [[museum]], the agriculture [[laboratory]], the [[greenhouse]], and other buildings for student services. In the same year, an experimental farm of about 1,680,000 pyeong was added to the facilities. In addition, the [[Science]] and [[Engineering]] Departments were equipped with laboratories and instruments. In December 1963, the [[Business school|Graduate School of Business Administration]], the first of its kind in Korea, was established. In October 1965, Yu Chin-O retired after fifteen years of service as the fourth president of Korea University and was succeeded by Lee Chong-Woo as the fifth president. After 1966, Korea University continued to expand with a gradual increase in the number of departments within the College of Science and Engineering and in the College of Agriculture. The Graduate School of Education was also founded. More facilities, including the new annex buildings, the General Education Building (Kyoyangkwan), and the [[Mass Communication]] Building (Hongbokwan), were added.<ref name="korea.edu"/>

In October 1970, Kim Sang-Hyup, professor of [[political science]], was appointed as the sixth president, succeeding Lee Chong-Woo who retired in September of that year. In December 1971, a major reorganization of Korea University took place, all Woosuk University colleges, including Medicine, Liberal Arts, and Sciences, Law and Economics, Junior College of Allied Health Sciences, as well as Woosuk [[Teaching hospital|University Hospital]], was completely integrated into Korea University.<ref>{{Cite web |last=윤 |first=지은 |date=2023-10-10 |title=[Who Is ?] 윤을식 고려대의료원장 |url=https://m.businesspost.co.kr/BP?command=mobile_view&num=329299 |access-date=2023-11-21 |website=[Who Is ?] 윤을식 고려대의료원장}}</ref>

In June 1972, the Business Administration Building (Kyoyangkwan) was completed to accommodate the College of Commerce and the Graduate School of Business Administration. In December of the same year, the college of [[Education]] was established.<ref name="korea.edu" />

In April 1975, President Kim Sang-Hyup was succeeded by Cha Rak-Hoon who became the seventh president. In December 1976, the College of Commerce was renamed the College of Business Administration. The Graduate School of Food and Agriculture was established in January of the following year. In December 1977, the College of Science and Engineering was separated into the College of Science and the College of Engineering. In addition, the new Central Library, the largest of its kind in South Korea at that time, was opened in March 1978. In July 1983, [[Medical School]] and [[hospital]] were expanded and reorganized into the Korea University [[Academic health science center|Medical Center]], which then included four new hospitals: Haewha, Guro, Yeoju and Ansan. In September 1983, the Science Library opened as the Center for Science and Technology Research and was at that time the largest and most modern building on the campus. In June 2001, Korea University concluded a joint academic program with the [[University of British Columbia]] in Canada. The Korea University Lyceum was completed and [[SK Telecom]] made a significant contribution in the same month. In July, the Division of International Studies and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication were founded. In October, Korea University obtained ISO9001 authentication in all educational and administrative areas.<ref>{{Cite web |script-title=ko:고대소개{{!}}고대역사{{!}}연표{{!}}연표 |url=https://www.korea.ac.kr/mbshome/mbs/university/subview.do?id=university_010603010000 |access-date=2023-11-21 |website=Korea University |language=ko}}</ref>

In March the College of Life Sciences and Biotechnology and the College of Life and Environmental Sciences were integrated into the [[Korea University College of Life Sciences and Biotechnology|College of Life Sciences and Biotechnology]]. At the same time, the [[Junior College]] of Health Sciences was abolished and merged into the new highly developed College of Health Sciences.<ref name="korea.edu"/> Korea University is composed of twenty-two graduate schools as well as eighteen undergraduate schools and colleges. Additionally, there are eleven auxiliary facilities, including libraries, a museum, and a press office for public relations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Schools{{!}}Graduate Schools |url=https://www.korea.ac.kr/mbshome/mbs/en/subview.do?id=en_030200000000 |access-date=2023-07-22 |website=Korea University |language=ko}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |script-title=ko:대학·대학원{{!}}대학{{!}}서울캠퍼스 |url=https://www.korea.ac.kr/mbshome/mbs/university/subview.do?id=university_030101000000 |access-date=2023-11-21 |website=Korea University |language=ko}}</ref>
