Student Ethnic Profile
20% of our student body is made up of Heritage Students
(Korean-American students, including Korean-born “1.5s”
and American-born “2nd Generations”). For these Korean-
American students, the main purpose in taking the classes
is rediscovering their ethnic identity and improving
language skills for communication with family members.
80% of our student body is made up of Non-Heritage
Students. For them, the goals are more diverse: interest
in Korean Culture (e.g. K-dramas, K-pop, K-movies etc.),
personal achievement or hobby, business or job related,
traveling to Korea, and so on. Most of our students are in
their early 20s to late 40s.
