Daewon Arts University (Daewon University College) has been selected as a Leading University for Working Professionals (선도대학) in the AI·Digital field for 2026, under the Ministry of Education's program supporting re-skilling of workers in AI and digital technology.
The selection falls under the Ministry of Education's Leading University for Working Professionals initiative in the AI·D (AI·Digital) category, which designates institutions to provide degree and training pathways aimed at upgrading the AI and digital competencies of people already in the workforce.
The designation was announced in materials from the Ministry of Education, which have been republished by multiple Korean media outlets. Details of the funding scale, program structure and specific courses offered under the designation have not yet been published, and remain unconfirmed at this stage.
Daewon Arts University, an arts-focused institution, joins the 2026 cohort of selected schools in the AI·D field. As the index for the relevant pages has not yet been made publicly searchable, additional specifics — including the university's planned curriculum and expected number of participating professionals — could not be independently examined beyond the ministry announcement and subsequent media reposts.
The claim that Daewon Arts University was selected as a 2026 Leading University for Working Professionals in AI·Digital is True.
