Ewha Womans University

The aim of Ewha Womans University's establishment was to free Korean women from feudalistic oppression and to give them a more humane life. Though Ewha has faced countless national hardships and crisis, both social and political in the past 118 years, Ewha has expanded women's opportunities for higher education and contributed to the modernization of Korean society and the improvement of women's lives through active social participation. As a single seed bears fruit many times its number, Ewha, which began as a missionary school held in a private home, is now the world's largest women's university with 140,000 graduates, 21,000 students, 14 colleges, 1division, and 14 graduate schools.
