This study is to explore the case of operating University-level Program (UP) focused on an example running case of Hanyang University. The UP operating processes include several phases: initiating the application and selection of UP education institutes, collecting high-school students, supporting effective execution and administration, opening 7 subjects in accordance with the standard science curriculum for UP students, and counseling and evaluating students' reaction and learning.
Several issues can be raised about the UP operating processes: guidance and advertising to collect the students, free tuition fee in some schools, collision of different education schedules between high schools and universities.
To settle down successful UP in the future, we recommend as follows.
1) In aspect of the UP education system and new curriculum development, it needs to have a more specified road map and then develop and study the new curriculums.
2) In aspect of UP education and study, it needs to do more various studies: for example, to measure the education effectiveness, to identify the student traits, to explore the teaching and learning methods for effectiveness and applicability to UP classes, to provide a system serving just-in time advice and guidance to the students, and to run a leadership program in view of national interest.
3) In aspect of UP executing strategies, it needs to have a department of taking the full charge and sharing operating experiences of all of the UP education institutions.
In conclusion, we have to share the results and experiences of UP operations among all of the participants such as universities, high-schools, the Ministry of Education, and related local offices of education, and to keep doing research on new UP curriculums. It is our hope that UP should be reconstructed as a specialized program where talented students can grow up and develop their excellence through the national interest and recognition of the program, including teachers, students, and parents.
