Inha University is a private, co-educational university located in Incheon, South Korea. It is owned by Hanjin Group.
Inha University was
established by the first president of South Korea, Syngman Rhee. It is
a Korean-American collaboration school, even in its name: the Morpheme "In"
(인, 仁) comes from the city
of Incheon and
"Ha" (하, 荷) comes from Hawaii, USA. At first time, it started as a
technical college, named Inha Institute of Technology (IIT). Currently, Inha is
ranked 10th nationwide, and especially 4th in Engineering and Science, by JoongAng Ilbo's
annual ranking of South Korean universities. Inha is a member of GU8.
Establishment
In 1952, in the midst of
the Korean War, the first President of Korea, Syngman Rhee proposed
the foundation of an educational institute that would provide expertise and hope to a
lagging industrial
sector. The driving force behind the
proposal was the will and determination of a group of Koreanswho had emigrated to Hawaii 50
years earlier. Financial resources for the foundation came from the proceeds of
the sale of the Korea Christian Institute,[6] an
organization founded and managed by Dr. Rhee for the purpose of educating the
children of the original emigrants, donations from Korean emigrants in Hawaii
and domestic supporters, and a government subsidy. Incheon city donated
a school site and in February, 1954, construction began in earnest, to finally
have the Inha Institute of Technology opened later the same year.
Vision
Today, Inha University fosters professionals with academic skills
and a character befitting the school motto of Truth. Inha has already produced

while continuing efforts to become one of the top universities in the world. In
