Dongguk University is a Buddhist university founded by Buddhist pioneers in the spirit of educational patriotism trying to get their country back through education. Starting from Myungjin School, Dongguk University has developed into Buddhist Higher Education Institution , Central Education Institution , Central Buddhist Professional School, Hyehwa College and has suffered unhappiness of the forced closure by Japan, but it has a proud history that it encountered the liberation without submitting. In 1946, the school changed its name to Dongguk University and was promoted to a university in 1953, having the status today. Dongguk University is leading our society as a prestigious university that has produced over 300,000 talented people in various fields including religion, politics, economy, society, education and culture during the past history and Korea’s only Buddhist university.
