Introduction
The School of Air Transport, Transportation and Logistics operates an air traffic control training center designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) and were selected as an excellent university for education reform in 2002. Since then, the school has continuously improved our undergraduate education and research infrastructure with various government support, including the MOLIT's Logistics Specialist Training Project in 2010, the Ministry of Education's University Specialization Project in 2014, and the Shipping and Port Logistics Specialist Training Project in 2020. Through these efforts, we have been able to grow into the best undergraduate school in Korea in the field of air transportation and logistics. The air transportation and logistics industries are a growing part of the national economy. In line with this, we are making efforts to strengthen software education, enhance research and the graduate school, and strengthen cooperation with industries in the air transportation and logistics fields. We will continue to develop into an undergraduate school with world-class competitiveness in air transportation and logistics education and research.
