About Dong-A University
Dong-A University (동아대학교, DAU) is a prominent private research university located in Busan, South Korea. Founded in 1946 in the immediate aftermath of liberation from colonial rule, Dong-A was established with the mission to educate future civic and economic leaders through the core virtues of Freedom (자유), Truth (진리), and Justice (정의). As the largest and oldest private university in the Busan metropolitan area, it is historically distinguished as one of only two universities in the region (alongside national Pusan National University) to host both an accredited medical school and a post-graduate professional law school. Today, Dong-A is celebrated for its strengths in law and public governance, clinical healthcare through Dong-A University Medical Center, engineering and port logistics, sports and physical education, and its rich historical collections curated at the Dong-A University Museum inside South Korea's Korean War Provisional Government Building.
