South Korea is a highly developed, stable, democratic republic bounded to the north by North Korea, and squeezed between the great regional powers of China to its west and Japan to its east and south. It is a land of breathtaking scenery. The capital, Seoul, lies in the northwestern part of the country along the Han River, not far from the northern border. The larger Seoul national capital area which includes the major port city of Incheon, has over twenty-one million residents. This makes it the third most populous metropolitan area in the world. About one-half of South Korea's entire population lives in Seoul and its surrounding environs. The city is the country's political, cultural, social, and economic center, as well as an international center for many financial and business organizations, and is considered one of the top 20 "world class cities". Sogang is one of Korea's most prestigious universities. Founded by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), Sogang today has an enviable reputation as a dynamic center of academic excellence. Less than 10% of Sogang's student body today is Catholic. At 10,500 students, Sogang is one of the smaller elite universities in Korea. Its campus is both compact and user-friendly and is situated in a very safe area of Seoul, close to other great Korean universities. Sogang's School of Business is AACSB accredited and is widely recognized as one of the best in South Korea. Sogang only accepts the top 1% of graduating seniors from the top South Korean high schools for their School of Business programs.
