The Center for Korean Studies was established in 1972 to coordinate and enhance the resources for the study of Korea at the University of Hawai‘i. The Center seeks to promote interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches to Korean studies by drawing on its faculty members in disciplines as diverse as communication, economics, ethnomusicology, education, geography, history, language, linguistics, literature, political science, sociology, and urban and regional planning. With the largest concentration of Korea scholars and resources outside of Korea itself, the Center strives to be the premier institution for the study of Korea in the United States.
