Yeungnam University of Science and Technology runs major exploration program for Daegu tourism high school students

Yeungnam University of Science and Technology hosted a major exploration program Thursday for about 160 third-year students and accompanying teachers from Daegu Tourism High School, holding hands-on sessions across the university's departmental laboratories.

The program was designed to give high school students a chance to experience a range of academic majors by drawing on the university's practical training facilities and education infrastructure.

Participating departments included pet styling, business administration and accounting, the Park Seung-cheol Hair program, aviation and hotel tourism, software convergence, dental hygiene, sports rehabilitation, social welfare, casino and surveillance, game animation, and architectural interior design.

Through activities tailored to each department, students gained an understanding of major-specific coursework and related career paths while exploring options in areas of their interest.

President Lee Jae-yong said the university would continue to support local high school students in experiencing diverse majors and taking an active role in planning their futures, including decisions about higher education and employment.
