Curriculum
The curriculum is structured in a manner that students can gradually and systematically build their skills to become highly specialized professionals in the IT field.
In the first semester, there are two required courses (Introduction to Web Business and Leadership Theory) to gain the basic knowledge in Web-Business. Students plan their coursework by choosing the elective courses according to their background, interests or training and needs for their future careers. The courses are divided into three categories described below.
The IT core courses were designed based on ACM’s Web-centric model, and consist the basic courses such as system design/database, web network, and programming, in order to provide the basic knowledge that support Web Business. The advanced courses include Information Security/PKI, Network Optimization Theory, Advanced Topics in Software Engineering, Advanced Topics in System Theories, Visual Network, and Data mining Basic Theory.

Career Reinforcement Courses
The Career Reinforcement courses aim to equip students with creative thinking skills, as well as applied, technological, and critical thinking capabilities, flexible and sound judgment, and strong leadership to build business models, and to plan and implement systems and projects in the industrial arena. They are unique to KCGI as being highly specialized professionals.
Those courses are equivalent to clinical study or clinical project of professional schools in the United States. In the clinical project, students plan and conduct their own projects supervised by a professor, while taking courses. The KCGI students initially learn the basic practical and specialized knowledge in their first year, and then in the second year, conduct comprehensive final projects, equivalent to a master’s thesis of research universities. The students need to choose either writing a thesis, or building a business model and/or system development project as one of the graduation requirements.
