Myongji University and Gyeonggi-do Yongin Education Support Office Sign MOU for High School-University Credit Recognition

Myongji University and the Gyeonggi-do Yongin Education Support Office have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance credit recognition between high schools and the university, aiming to broaden course selection for local high school students and nurture regional talent. The agreement was formalized on July 20th at Myongji University's Natural Campus.

This collaboration is part of the Gyeonggi RISE (Regional Innovation System & Education) project's lifelong education innovation tasks. Its goal is to build an educational cooperation system between high schools and universities, offering specialized and diverse learning opportunities to students within the Yongin area.

Under the agreement, Myongji University will offer an advanced technology course, "Embedded Robot Control," to local high school students. The university will manage the course content, student support, and administrative procedures. Crucially, students who successfully complete this course may have their credits officially recognized by Myongji University if they enroll in the future, creating a dual-credit system that supports students' major exploration and academic growth.

To manage the program effectively, both institutions will establish a joint committee to deliberate on details such as course operation, completion standards, and credit recognition scope. The signing ceremony was attended by key figures from both Myongji University, including President Lim Yeon-soo, and the Yongin Education Support Office, including Superintendent Cho Young-min, who pledged their commitment to regional educational development.
