History

Namseoul University began accepting students in 1994. Dr. Ho Keun Kim became its first president of Namseoul University.

The university opened with nine departments: Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information and Technology, Communication Studies, Industrial Design, Business Management, Marketing, English and Japanese.

The university expanded its educational offerings over the following eight years by adding seven academic departments. The first graduation ceremony was held on February 20, 1998. In 2007, the university opened the Graduate School of Child Behavior Therapy.

In 2008, the university opened an International Exchanges and Cooperation Center (IECC) in India. 2008 also saw the introduction of the university's Architectural Engineering, Nursing Science, Geriatric Welfare, and Clinical Pathology programs.

In 2016 the university began offering master's degrees taught in English by English speaking professors. Originally this was offered under the umbrella of the Korean Graduate School's Global Education Institute. However, by 2017 the program had grown substantially and Namseoul University formed a separate graduate school. It is now known as the Namseoul University International Graduate School.
