International trade, as a multidisciplinary field encompassing the global economy (international trade theory, international financial theory, regional studies, and international resource theory), the global management (international management, international marketing, international finance, and foreign investment), and global trade (the practice of trade, electronic trade, international commerce), is necessary for the formation of global experts and leaders in the age of globalization. As the complexity and diversity of international society deepens and international commerce increases in importance, the multi-disciplinary nature of the academic field of international trade has become one of its strong points.

As an advanced and specialized academic program, the Department of International Trade at Konkuk University (KU) has actively responded to changes in society such as its increasing complexity and globalization, and with its future-oriented vision will continue to pave the way in multi-disciplinary education.

The department has been official recognized as number one in the field of international trade (international commerce) in Korea.
