This course provides a holistic understanding of the global fashion market and effective strategies for success in this dynamic and innovative industry. With a focus on managing the Korean fashion industry, this course covers a range of topics that reflect the unique characteristics and trends of the Korean fashion markets. 

This course covers issues related to important concepts, practices, and leaders in the world of modern management. 

The world of management is fiercely competitive; managers and their employers must deliver results. In this course, essential performance dimensions: cost, quality, speed, innovation, service, and sustainability are emphasized. A key focus is on the modern management function, including issues of 1) delivering strategic value (for planning), 2) building a dynamic organization (for organizing), 3) mobilizing people (for leading), and 4) learning and changing (for controlling) in turbulent and competitive markets. 

The course considers the following primary questions: (1) what skills will help you to be an effective manager, and (2) how can you apply the material in this course to daily life?  

Ultimately, this course provides core foundational knowledge and principles integral to organizational management careers. 

This course introduces quantum computing from a computer science perspective, focusing on mathematical and algorithmic foundations. Quantum computers have the potential to solve difficult computational problems for which no efficient classical algorithms exist. Writing quantum algorithms is radically different from programming classical computers and requires an understanding of quantum principles and the mathematical foundations behind them. Course participants will gain practical experience by developing quantum programs in Qiskit and their simulation and execution on quantum processing units(QPUs) of the IBM Quantum Platform, particularly the Yonsei University Eagle QPU. 

Course goals: (1) Acquire a firm understanding of the quantum-mechanical foundations of qubit superposition, entanglement, and interference at the heart of all quantum computations. (2) Understand the early quantum algorithms such as Deutsch’s Problem, Bernstein-Vazirani, and Quantum FFT, and be able to code and execute them on a QPU. (3) Know recent near-term quantum algorithms like the quantum simulation of Hamiltonian dynamics. (4) Understand and control, in principle, the quantum circuit compilation pipeline and error mitigation techniques to execute near-term quantum workloads on QPUs. 

Prerequisites: An introductory programming class, e.g., CAS1100-01, is strictly required. A course in linear algebra is strictly required. 

This honors-level course equips students with a comprehensive understanding and practical skills for embracing a holistic approach to healthy living. The curriculum empowers individuals to make informed decisions about nutrition, while cultivating habits that contribute to overall well-being. Through engaging discussions, in-depth research, and critical analysis of scientific studies, students integrate theoretical knowledge into practical applications. The course provides a strong foundation in holistic health, enabling informed choices and sustainable practices for lifelong wellness. Students maintain a health journal, recording insights and progress as topics are explored. Topics include Unpacking Your Beliefs about Health & Nutrition, Whole Foods vs Processed Foods, Macronutrients & Micronutrients, Becoming Literate in Nutritional Labels, Protein Packed Punch: The Science Behind Proteins, Careful with Carbs, Breaking Down Food: The Digestive System, and more. 

This course has been designed to help students prepare for the work field by teaching practice skills including a cover letter and a resume. Students conduct research on a company of choice and participate in a practice interviews for the final 1:1 interview. In this class, students will learn practical skills like how to smile, how to prepare for the professional world, what to wear for an interview, how to respond to interview questions, and what to include in an elevator pitch. There are two versions of this course; this course, UCEAP 89B (Honors)/Yonsei UCK1159, and UCEAP 89A (ADV)/Yonsei UCK1143. 

This course focuses on developing a deep understanding of how culture influences individual cognition, emotions, and behavior, and analyzes psychological differences between groups and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. The course explores how human behavior and thinking are shaped and changed within cultural contexts. 

Main topics in the first half: Understanding theoretical foundations include cultural values and beliefs, cognitive psychology and culture, cultural identity, and polarization and cultural psychology. Main topics in the second half: Understanding practical phenomena and finding solutions include culture of effort worship, face-saving culture, lookism culture, hierarchical culture, and other-oriented culture.   

This introductory course provides basic knowledge about the human body, diseases, and research. Human body includes the anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of various organs and various diseases that develop in our body. This course also includes basic research methodology and thinking processes for research on the causes and treatments of diseases with examples of what the instructor actually did for each organ. 

This course covers learning the French language at an intermediate level and introduces basic grammar and vocabulary. To enhance the effectiveness of learning French, this course encourages students to develop an interest in the French language and culture. Students learn the structure of French sentences, how to express French tenses, and practice writing skills by focusing on vocabulary and phrases used in daily life. 

Prerequisite: FRENCH(1) 

This course explores the intersection of economics and environmental challenges, equipping students with theoretical frameworks and empirical tools to address pressing environmental issues. The course covers the role of economics in environmental issues, market process modeling, market failure analysis (e.g., air quality markets and externalities), and policy approaches including command-and-control, market-based solutions, risk analysis, and cost-benefit analysis. Students also examine real-world cases such as air pollution (defining air quality, controlling mobile and stationary sources, ozone depletion, and climate change), water pollution (quality, point and non-point sources, safe drinking water), and solid waste and toxic substance management. The course concludes with a focus on sustainable development, including SDGs and climate change issues. The teaching methodology integrates theoretical lectures with case studies, supplemented by contemporary examples such as COP21, the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement under Trump, and comparisons of BMW's environmental initiatives and scandals.

Prerequisites: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics

This course covers the world of luxury fashion from a brand management perspective. Topics include the nature of luxury, brand promise, and brand engagement. The course also discusses how global market dynamics, digital transformation, and customer expectation shifts shape the future of luxury fashion.  

Students gain a deep understanding of how luxury fashion brands differentiate themselves from mass market brands as well as strategic brand management skills.
