    FAQ

    Can I audit the course?

    Please talk to the course instructors in person during the first week of class.


    The course seems to require proficiency in the Korean language to listen to talks, but my Korean isn't quite good. Maybe I shouldn't take it?

    Just so you know, while the class content is primarily in English, the instruction will be in Korean. If this is challenging, please feel free to explore other class options.
