The new graduate school was established as part of the "Global ABC 80" project, which expands the scope of the humanities into digital and applied fields.
Centered on AI (artificial intelligence), Asia and Art, the program combines Buddhist and cultural assets with a focus on connecting traditional humanities with the needs of modern industries and society.
The departments and programs are the Department of Digital Humanities (AI and K-Content; Buddhist Culture and Historical Content), the Department of Creative Writing (Poetry Writing; Fiction Writing; New Media Creative Writing; and Children's and Young Adult Literature), and the Department of Eastern Cultural Contents (Eastern Cultural Contents).
To accommodate working professionals and others balancing their studies with their jobs, classes will be held on weekday evenings, on Mondays and Tuesdays. The admissions process will consist of a document review and an interview.
