History

The school was founded in Seoul in 1953 as "Korean Judo College" (대한유도학교). At this time it offered two-year courses of study in fields such as combative martial arts and tae kwon do. In 1964, it began to offer four-year programs, but was still specialized in martial arts. In these early years, the school was largely an evening college and enrolled less than 150 students.

The campus moved to its present site in Yongin City in 1985. Thereafter, it expanded rapidly in both enrollment and the scope of its programs. The school newspaper was founded in 1992. Yong-in became a university in 1993, with colleges of Martial Arts, Multimedia, Sports Science, Arts, Business Administration, and Natural Sciences.
