Based on their English test scores, students can be waived from the basic level course. However, getting a waiver does not mean that you can get 3 credits from the waived course. Those students who are unable to participate in the preliminary session have to take LPM course during the spring semester.

Korean Language and Culture Ⅱ is a 3-credits optional course that does not count for graduation requirement. However, grade received from the course will affect your cumulative GPA. This course will be open for International students(including NIIED students).
