Sangmyung University is located in Jongno, Seoul and Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do. Jongno District is famous for origin of Seoul.

History

The university traces its beginnings to 1937 during the Japanese colonial era. It was in this year that the Sangmyung Academy for Higher Learning for the Young was established.

By 1965, the academy became a women's teacher's college and then a women's university in 1986. Ten years later, Sangmyung Women's University began to admit men. Library occupancy rates and graduate employment rates have increased since 1996. Male alumni have been largely responsible for the surge in alumni activities since Sangmyung went co-educational with the assistance of Kyoungsun Im.
