The pastoral surroundings promotes a pleasant environment to pursue diverse academic degrees. The University is made up of 12 colleges with a total of 6 schools, 63 departments, and 6 graduate schools. In addition, there are 29 research institutes that serve as adjunct centers for the faculty research activities. Other supporting organizations include the University Libraries, the University Museum, the Center for Research Instruments and Experimental Facilities, the University Computer Center, as well as numerous others.

There are over 18,000 students currently enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs at Chungbuk National University. Presently, the total number of faculty members is 644. CBNU welcomes students from all over the world to join in its academic experience. It has grown to become one of the leading educational and research institutions in Korea. As a cultural and intellectual center of Chungbuk Province, the University provides its students with superb educational programs, research facilities and up-to-date laboratories, and has many cooperative programs with its local communities and businesses. CBNU has made some notable advances.

Dongah-Ilbo newspaper ranked CBNU 2nd in the Korean Internet sector (1997). CBNU won an "Excellent University" award from the Korean Ministry of Education (1997) in various fields such as "educational reform in the information sector", "reform of school affairs", and "educational reform for extending student's freedom to choose his or her major field". CBNU is the only university that has been awarded the specialized program grant in the semiconductor and information technology area by the government of Korea. As an outcome, the College of Engineering won approximately US$25,000,000 from the government for the purpose of training quality manpower, as required in industries, by providing experience-based programs (1994–1999). The SchooI of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has been awarded the Brain Korea 21 program with an annual multi-million dollar grant, while the Physics and Pharmacy research teams won big research grants as well.

The Health, Medicine, and Life Science Program first developed systematic interdisciplinary curriculum connecting and combining basic sciences and applied technologies. Osong, near Cheongju, will become the center for health, medicine and life science related government offices, industries and research institutes. CBNU will be a major element of this enterprise.

The Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF) designated the Center for Advanced Horticultural Technology Development and Research as a Regional Research Center. KOSEF annually donate approximately $1,000,000 in grant money to the Center.

CBNU emphasizes the generation of revolutionary ideas based in advanced information systems. The super-speed computer network (ATM) was established for this purpose, and all students are eligible to get personal internet IDs. Most classrooms are equipped with ultra-modern multimedia devices, which include PCs, LCD projectors, and data viewers.
