On 3 June 2013, 15 students from California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, California of the U.S.A., visited Konkuk for a short study program organized by the International Programs Team of the Office of International Affairs.
The two-week program will feature an orientation on Konkuk, a tour of downtown Seoul, field trips (the DMZ [Demilitarized Zone], the Korean Folk Village, Gyeongju and Andong), homestays with Korean families, a buddy program with Korean students, teaching English for two days at Konkuk University Middle School and a completion ceremony.
Konkuk signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation with CSUCI on 19 January 2012. CSUCI opened in 2002 as the 23rd campus in the California State University system.
Two Konkuk students are now studying there as exchange students and two other students are expected to do so from the fall semester of 2013.
