Myongji University Hosts '2026 Major and Career Festival' to Guide Student Futures

Myongji University is committed to supporting its students' academic and professional development, as demonstrated by the successful '2026 Major and Career Festival.' Held across both the Humanities and Natural Science campuses, this event provided a crucial platform for students to deepen their understanding of their chosen fields and explore future career paths.

The festival, organized by the Academic Support Team as part of the University Innovation Support Project, offered a comprehensive range of activities. Students had the opportunity to engage with representatives from 23 departments on the Humanities campus and 20 on the Natural Science campus, gaining insights into curricula and campus culture through one-on-one consultations. This direct interaction is invaluable for students, especially those in their first year, who are often navigating the complexities of choosing or solidifying their academic direction.

I had many worries about choosing my major, but through the one-on-one consultations at each department's booth, I was able to get a concrete understanding of the curriculum and atmosphere of the majors I was interested in.

Beyond major exploration, the festival also highlighted opportunities for pursuing multiple majors, including double, dual, and interdisciplinary programs, as well as student-designed majors. The Career Development Center (MJ University Job Plus Center) provided career counseling, and the University Education Innovation Center offered information on extracurricular programs. The Student Counseling Center was also present, underscoring the university's holistic approach to student well-being and success.

Feedback from students, such as Ahn Myung-ho from the Class of 2026, indicates the festival's significant impact. Ahn expressed that the consultations helped him move from uncertainty about his major to a clearer sense of direction for his future career. This personal success story exemplifies the festival's core mission: to empower students with the information and guidance needed to make informed decisions about their academic and professional lives.

It was a great help in setting a direction for my previously vague career path.
