Since the mid 1990s, there has been an increasing demand for high-quality human resources with ability of leading technological innovations and developments in the field of IT. To respond to such needs, the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) and Korea's IT-related research institutes and IT industrial bodies jointly founded ICU. ICU (Information and Communications University) was founded in 1997 and continues to be supported by the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication and IT industry. There are two schools of engineering and IT-business, both of which focus on IT, and the areas of research and study include wireless communication, ubiquitous computing, bioinformatics, software engineering, and IT-management among others.
The amount of research funds per faculty member is the highest in Korean universities. ICU undergraduate students are selected from the top 1% of Korean SAT examinees and 60% of the students are from Korea's specialized high schools such as Science High School. 15% of ICU graduate student population is foreign nationals, contributing a great deal to the growth of ICU in its academic and research capacity. In addition, all the major courses are taught in English, a rare trait among Korean universities.
Furthermore, ICU has superior, state-of-the-art research, teaching, and residential facilities, built in 2003. Located in Daedeok Science Town (DASTO), Korea's center for research and development activities, ICU is also well-situated to establish cooperative relations with outstanding research and academic institutions.
The ultimate goal of ICU's School of Engineering is to produce global technical leaders who are equipped with superior management capabilities as well as comprehensive technological skills in the field of IT. To achieve this goal, the School of Engineering focuses on developing students' global leadership in the IT industry, government, and academia. An emphasis is also placed on nurturing students' capability to not only solve practical problems and develop technologies required by the real-world, but also perform research and develop global leading technologies.
