The Catholic University of Korea is a leading Roman Catholic institution of higher education in South Korea. It operates campuses in the capital, Seoul, and in neighboring Bucheon City. The university operates a medical school, and has eight affiliated hospitals in major cities of the region.
History
The university traces its roots to St. Joseph's Seminary, founded before Christianity was legalized, in 1855 in Baeron, a Catholic refuge in modern-day Jecheon, North Chungcheong province. After the legalization of Christianity, the school moved to Yongsan-gu, Seoul, in 1887, and was renamed Seminary of Sacred Heart of Jesus. A hospital associated with the seminary was opened in 1936. The seminary become Songsim College in 1947 (Songsim, or 聖心, means 'Sacred Heart' in Korean) and the medical school was established in 1954. The name was later changed to Catholic College. Songsim Women's College was founded in 1964; the two colleges were merged in 1990 to form the present-day entity of Catholic University.
