The Graduate School of Political Studies[1] (GSPS) at Kyonggi University is a political science and public administration school located in Seoul, South Korea. Founded in 1995, GSPS was the first school to combine international politics, political science, and public administration with the North Korean studies[2] in South Korea. In addition to a degree in political science, GSPS offered classes in national security, North Korean studies, and public affairs, which eventually led to international politics and public administration degrees.[3]

In September 2023, GSPS organized the inaugural Incheon Security Conference[4] with the Incheon Metropolitan City and the Korean Institute for Presidential Studies to commemorate the Incheon Landing Operation in 1950.[5][6] This landing operation, known as Operation Chromite was the pivotal moment that changed the tide of the 1950-53 Korean War.[7]

Degree Program[edit]

GSPS is home to four academic departments, including: Department of Political Science and Law, Department of North Korean Studies, Department of Foreign Policy and National Security, and Department of Public Policy. GSPS offers a two-year three master's degrees in political science, international politics, and public administration and three doctoral degrees in political science, international politics, and public administration.
