Chonbuk National University (CBNU; 전북대학교; 全北大學校; Jeonbuk Daehakgyo) is located in the historical city of Jeonju, Republic of Korea. As the flagship national university for the Jeollabuk-do Province, it was founded in 1947 by the provincial fund within the framework of the Korean national university system, following the liberation of the country.
CBNU has grown to 17 c...olleges (including Faculty of Public Policy and Jimmy Carter School of International Studies) and 14 graduate schools (one general, nine specialized and four professional schools).
For approximately 32,000 students, and 2,400 full-time and part-time professors (as of October 2016), Chonbuk National University provides with high-quality educational, research and support facilities, cooperating with various institutions worldwide.
Started with 2,700 students of 5 colleges with 16 departments by integrating Jeonju Myeongnyun School and Gunsan Hakgwan into Iri Provincial Agricultural College in 1946, Chonbuk National University has grown up to a leading region-base university currently having 2 professional schools, 22 faculties with 36 departments in 14 colleges, and graduate school and special graduate schools.
Despite of numerous limitations, both internally and externally, CBNU has accomplished an outstanding improvement since its opening in 1947. With its 70th anniversary around the corner in 2017, CBNU has been achieving invaluable results, and consolidating its position as the school with the fastest growth speed in the nation for the past 10 years.
Due to decline of academic population and rising of financial pressure, however, many Korean universities are facing a never-before-seen difficulty. It simply is not possible to overcome the hard time with the tactics from the days of growth. But now, it is time to think bigger, and see further through a vision of maturity.
Chonbuk National University will open an era of maturity moving beyond growth. By fostering talented individuals equipped with CBNU’s unique color, and building an ever-growing research ecosystem, we will prepare for a great leap of the new millennium. We will help our students enlarge their thinking, and discover new academic resources, thus they will be our priceless masterpiece proudly representing CBNU.
