환영합니다!
The Korean Language Flagship Center (KLFC) at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa (UHM) is the first and only Korean language center in the United States dedicated to cultivating Korea specialists with Superior (on the ACTFL scale) proficiency in Korean. The KLFC’s goal is to prepare American students to be capable of functioning in Korean as professionals in their chosen academic or professional fields.
UHM’s Korean Flagship Program (KFP) was established in 2002 as a post-baccalaureate non-degree program. In cooperation with the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures (EALL), the KFP transitioned into the KLFC in 2007 offering a Master of Arts degree in "Korean for Professionals." In 2008, the KLFC launched a Bachelor of Arts degree in "Korean for Professionals." Furthermore, a Pre-College Summer Program and a Certificate in "Korean for Professionals" program will start in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
The KLFC is part of The Language Flagship (TLF) funded by the National Security Education Program (NSEP).
