Background of the Development of College Symbols
For the first time in Korea, Korea University created symbols for each individual college in 2016 in commemoration of KU’s 111th anniversary. KU systematically developed heraldic college symbols based on the university’s motto, “Liberty, Justice, and Truth,” reflecting the characteristics of each college (history, tradition, educational ideology, symbolic character, and initials).

- Humanities & Social Sciences: Horizontal center line symbolizing “justice” and symbolically colored vertical stripes
