Hanyang International Summer School (HISS) is one of Korea’s leading summer programs. Every year, around 2000 students spend 4 weeks at one of Korea’s leading private universities. HISS offers world-class education combined with a variety of unique cultural experiences. Every year HISS is thrilled to host students and faculty from around the world. Additional activities are available to give you a taste of Korea.
This is categorized as a “Direct Enroll” program where students pay Hanyang University directly for tuition and other program costs while maintaining their student status here at Illinois Tech.
For summer 2025, Matthew Shapiro, professor of Political Science at IIT, plans to teach a course in East Asian Political Economy. He has spent years living in Seoul and has been affiliated with Hanyang University in the past.
He will be happy to answer any questions about summer school at Hanyang University or about Seoul or Korea in general. Please reach out to him directly at shapiro@iit.edu for further information about his class.
