Program
The program is open to anyone who meets Langara College’s admission requirements. With the courses' credits transferable, we also welcome students from other post-secondary institutions as well as general public who are interested in interdisciplinary studies of Korean, Vietnamese and Thai business and historical culture.

Through lectures and visits to businesses and cultural sites, students will have an opportunity to:

- Actively engage themselves in discussions with businesspeople, and
- Directly participate in cultural activities.
