Welcome Message

Since its establishment in 1915 as Korea’s first modern business education and research institution, the Yonsei University School of Business (YSB) has continuously pursued innovation and growth for the past 110 years.

Following the graduation of its first class in 1919, YSB pioneered business education in Korea by establishing the nation's first Graduate School of Business in 1965, launching the first Global MBA (English) program in 1998, and founding Sangnam Institute of Management in 1999, Korea’s first executive education institute.

At the core of YSB's mission are the three key values of Creativity, Integrity, and Global Perspective. With these principles, we are committed to providing world-class business education and research. Through innovative and distinctive education, as well as cutting-edge research, we strive to cultivate creative and ethical leaders with a global outlook.

Our dedication to excellence has been recognized by the world's leading business education accreditation bodies. YSB is the only business school in Korea accredited by all four major business education accreditation organizations: AACSB (United States), EQUIS (Europe), AMBA (Europe), and KABEA (Korea).

Furthermore, YSB continues to achieve outstanding results in global university rankings:

• THE (The Times Higher Education) 2024 Business and Economics: Korea #1, Global #47
• QS 2024 Business and Management: Korea #1, Global #54
• QS 2025 Full-Time MBA (Global MBA): Korea #1, Global #82
• Financial Times 2024 Executive MBA: Korea #1, Global #49

With these accomplishments, YSB is strengthening its global competitiveness while maintaining its position as Korea’s leading business school.

As rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and other groundbreaking technologies reshape industries, universities must also adapt to the fast-changing educational and research environment. Additionally, climate change, socio-economic disparities, and geopolitical conflicts are becoming more pressing challenges worldwide. In response, YSB is committed to nurturing creative business leaders who can contribute to the sustainability and advancement of the global community.

Through cutting-edge education and research focusing on entrepreneurship, ESG-driven ethical management and the development of global leadership to tackle complex crises, YSB will continue to lead Korea’s business landscape.

We appreciate your continued interest and support in YSB’s ongoing journey toward excellence.

Thank you.
