History

[edit]

The school was established shortly after national liberation, on September 2, 1946. At the time it was known as Busan Normal School (부산사범학교) and provided training for elementary-school teachers. It was expanded to cover secondary teachers in 1955, and became Busan Teachers' College. In 1961, it was reorganized and renamed as Busan National College of Education. It became a four-year college in 1981, and a university in 1993. The graduate school was established in 1996.
