Wonhyo Institute operation and composition

Operation and Programs

 

Wonhyo Academy was first opened inside KIBS in 1988. The courses consisted of lectures that spanned twelve weeks each semester and were operated on a credit system. Depending on the credits earned, a degree named Bronze, Silver, Gold, Vaiḍūrya, or Mani was awarded. Wonhyo Academy was operated in this system until 2004. After a period of hiatus, it was resumed as lecture series on specific topics two to three times a year, being offered offline and online.
