The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Hanil University and Presbyterian Theological Seminary is the fundamental faculty on campus, with more than 10 faculty members responsible for teaching the majority of the university's core curriculum courses to all students each year. Established in 1996, the Faculty of HUSS focuses on the study of humanism based on Christian truth and freedom, and in a broader sense, on the nurturing of future leaders of Korean society. In pursuit of these aims, the Faculty of HUSS encourages students to develop a new spirit of learning and creative ability through revisiting and searching for the old, traditional values of Eastern and Western cultures as well as Biblical knowledge. As of 2007, the Faculty of HUSS has more than 250 undergraduate students pursuing a variety of disciplines through its 3 majors and 12 minors from other faculties. Three major fields in Faculty of HUSS are: English Language and Literature Sociology and Economics Management of Social-Welfare Facilities English Language and Literature: The Department of English Language and Literature has three goals: 1) To make students proficient readers, writers and speakers of English; and prepare them to continue advanced studies. 2) To educate students about traditional and contemporary British and American culture and literature as well as those of ancient Greece, to enable students to understand the depth and width of the human spirit. 3) To enable students to practice and experience missiological English and circumstances. The curriculum of over 30 courses includes English grammar, composition and conversation; classical and modern British and American novels, drama, poetry, and literary criticism; Greek tragedy and comedy; and theories of English language education. Sociology and Economics: This interdisciplinary major field offers over 30 courses which give students an opportunity to pursue advanced studies in economics such as, micro and macro economic theory, international trade and finance, industrial organization, and monetary policy. In the sociology fields, students train and qualify themselves in order to professionally understand, analyze, and predict various social problems including unemployment, poverty, social security, and welfare for the minorities. The faculty also trains and educates students in the interdisciplinary ways of connecting sociology and economics, thus promoting understanding of our socio-economic environment and ways to solve the problems mentioned above. Management of Social-Welfare Facilities: The extensive curriculum of this newly-established department includes over 25 courses and seminars, including 14 required courses for the Social Welfare Workers' License. The department is established to meet the growing demands of management of welfare facilities. Thus this department is committed to turning out experts who will contribute to the management of social welfare facilities as well as to the policy making concerning social-welfare facilities. Subjects covered include social research methods; contemporary sociological theories; social organization and stratification; problems in Korean welfare facilities; dynamics of social change and demands; welfare psychology and ethics; social development; social statistics and demography; comparative sociology; and social anthropology.
