National Gunsan University is gaining attention for issuing a challenge to the "Glocal University 30" based on its 'Unlimited Change of Major System' that eliminates restrictions on grade, credits, and number of changes.

Since last year, Gunsan University has been the first national university in the country to introduce the 3 Unrestricted Change of Major System, which is being fully implemented starting from the first semester of the 2024 academic year. This system guarantees students the freedom to move to the major of their choice without restrictions on grade level, acquired credits and GPA, or the number of changes.

In the 2024 academic year, 198 students utilized the system to apply for a change of major, marking a 230% increase compared to the previous year. The satisfaction rate also reached 96%, indicating the successful establishment of the autonomous major selection system.

Applications for changing majors can be made through the online integrated information system, followed by consultations with academic advisors and approval from the Office of Educational Innovation for final confirmation. Starting from the first semester of the 2025 academic year, a 'Major and Career Guidance Center' will also be operated to further strengthen the support system for changing majors.

Academic advisors include faculty members, teaching assistants, intermediaries, and industry experts, who provide tailored support for students' career planning and major selection.

Oh Jung-geun, head of the Glocal University Promotion Team, stated, "Gunsan University's Unlimited Change of Major System is already a case of realizing the evolution model of the autonomous major system," and expressed, "We will lead regional university innovation by sharing expertise with other universities."
