About Sogang University
Sogang University is a Seoul-based private research university. The Wisconsin Province of the Society of Jesus founded it in 1960. Sogang is South Korea’s oldest Jesuit higher education institution.
Pope Pius XII promised that a Catholic institution of higher learning would be created in Korea at the request of the Korean Catholic Hierarchy. He entrusted the mission to the Society of Jesus in 1948. In October 1954, Jesuit Fr. Theodore Geppert, SJ, of Sophia University in Tokyo arrived in Korea in search of a suitable location for a Jesuit college.
The Wisconsin Province of Jesuits was given the mission of creating the college by Jean-Baptiste Janssens, SJ, the twenty-seventh Superior General of the Society of Jesus, in February 1955. Fr. Leo Burns, SJ, Superior of the Wisconsin Province of the Society of Jesus, visited Korea and began negotiations with the Syngman Rhee government for the establishment of a liberal arts college with the Korean Catholic Hierarchy.
The Society of Jesus purchased a 67,075 pyong (217,323 sq. metres, 53 acres) property in Nogosan, Sinsu-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul in January 1957. The land was planned for the construction of an Administration Building, which began in November 1959 and was finished in November 1960. Sogang College first opened its doors in 1960, and in 1970, it was designated as a research university.
