The host universities include institutions ranked within the top 250 in the QS World University Rankings, such as University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in the United States, Deakin University in Australia, and Sapienza University of Rome in Italy.

Forty students will also be selected and sent to participate in the Hawaii Gachon Premium Course, which is operated by the Hawaii Gachon Global Center.

To support students' overseas studies, Gachon University provides scholarships of up to 6 million won per program and recognizes credits earned at host universities as credits at Gachon University. Students were selected through a comprehensive document review that evaluates academic performance, official language test scores, participation in internationalization programs, as well as in-depth personality and English interviews.

Yoon Wonjung, Vice President of Gachon University, stated, "Overseas dispatch programs are a valuable experience, enabling students to set their own goals, take on challenges, and grow in new environments. I hope our students will develop global competencies and international perspectives by engaging with diverse cultures and people, and grow into global talents representing Gachon University."
