KLSP
The MPM will require a total of 39 credits of graduate courses taken over 18 months during four semesters. To better accommodate student’s individual academic interests and professional aspirations, students must select into one of two concentration tracks, Public Management and Public Policy, during their first semester. Students in the MPM will be required to take five core courses (15 credits), four elective courses (12 credits), a MPM Practicum course (6 credits), one internship course (3 credits), and the Samsung-MPM Training Program (3 credits). Elective courses will vary depending on the selected track of study.
Required Core Courses (each 3 credits): All students take the five core courses.
① Theories and Praxis of Public Management;
② Development and Governance;
③ Research Design and Methods;
④ Management Science and Statistical Methods;
⑤ Public Policy: Theory and Practice.
Elective Courses (each 3 credits): Within each track, students will choose four courses among the elective courses.

Track 1: Public Management |
Track 2: Public Policy |

Public Financial Management (Both Tracks 1 and 2) Understanding Local Government (Both Tracks 1 and 2) |

Note: The exact name of the courses may vary depending on the lecturer.
Internship Course (3 credits): All students will participate in a four-week long internship program during the winter semester.
MPM Practicum (6 credits): The MPM Practicum is a twelve-week long course offering students an opportunity to integrate and apply their academic learning across various disciplines represented in the MPM core to a real world public problem. An important attribute of this course is that students are challenged to analyze and produce solutions in a setting similar to professional reality where the topic and people they work with are not self-selected. As such, students work on a topic of policy relevance which is revealed on the first day of class and in groups to which they are assigned by the instructor. The completion of this project requires a great amount of flexibility and collaborative effort.
Samsung-MPM Training Program (3 credits): This course offers students the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience on successful Korean private-public partnerships (PPP), public official training, while, at the same time, earning academic credit towards completion of their degree program. Utilizing GSG’s close relationship with Samsung, this program has been created in collaboration with the Samsung Human Resources Development (HRD) Center. Specifically, the Samsung HRD Center will provide training on “Creative Management” for three weeks via special lectures, field trips, and student colloquiums. The training will focus on examining and analyzing a number of Korean case studies through which innovation and collaborative efforts among various actors across sectors have successfully overcome regional, national, and global public challenges. Upon completion of training by the Samsung HRD center, site visits and special lectures at the Korean Central Officials Training Institute (COTI) as well as the Seoul Human Resources Development Center (SHRDC) are planned. COTI serves as the central training agency for government officials in Korea and is committed in enhancing the capacity and knowledge of civil servants from LACs through collaboration with the GSG at SKKU. Likewise, the SHRDC serves as the training agency for Seoul local government officials and is committed in providing special lectures to government officials from LACs through the KLSP at the GSG. Under the guidance and direction of our faculty, MPM students will design a final project applying the tools and insight gained from the training and site visits in the context of their home country. The completed paper or project is evaluated by university faculty.
