==History==
In 1973, ChuGye University for the Arts was established by the ChuGye School Foundation of [[Hwang Shin-duk]].

In November 1973, the ChuGye School Foundation was approved by the Ministry of Education for founding a junior college of arts. In March 1974, the college first opened its doors with an enrollment of 200 students over Korean Music, Voice, Instruments, Korean Painting and Western Painting departments. Hyung Bin Yim was inaugurated as its first president.

Extending the schooling period from two to four years in January 1976, the college began to offer more variety of education in the arts. The Department of Piano (1980) and the Department of Creative Writing (1982) were established.

The college has become an accredited university by the government to confer the degrees of B.A., B.M., and B.F.A. under its new name “ChuGye University for the Arts” since 1997. Students are required to obtain 140 credits or more and to pass 'academic evaluation for graduation' to get undergraduate degrees.
