한라대학교는 故 鄭仁永 한라그룹 명예회장님의 육영의지인 고급기술인력 양성을 통한 국가경쟁력 제고를 위해 1995년 설립되었습니다. 그 동안 배출된 한라대학교 졸업생들은 세계 각지의 경제현장에서 활발한 활동을 펼치며 우리나라 발전의 일익을 담당하고, 학교의 브랜드 가치를 높이는 자랑스런 역사를 만들고 있습니다. 대학의 경쟁력이 곧 국가의 경쟁력이라는 말처럼 대학의 역할은 개인의 성공 뿐만 아니라 국가와 사회의 발전을 위해서도 매우 중요합니다. 한라대학교는 전략적 특성화ㆍ 학사구조 개혁ㆍ 글로벌 역량강화ㆍ통일교육 선도를 통하여 이러한 중차대한 역할을 충실히 수행하고자 합니다. 사회와 산업계의 변화를 적시에 반영하는 특성화 교육 프로그램을 제공하며, 학생들이 대학 재학 중 자신의 미래에 대한 다양한 가능성을 자유롭게 탐색할 수 있도록 하겠습니다. 보다 많은 외국 학생들이 한라대학교로 유학을 오도록 하고, 한라대학교 학생들도 전세계를 활동무대로 삼을 수 있도록 글로벌 역량을 강화하겠습니다. 이를 통해 학생성공, 지역발전에 공헌하는 한라대학교를 만들겠습니다. 한라대학교 설립자이신 故 鄭仁永 한라그룹 명예회장님은 “꿈을 꾸고, 꿈을 믿고, 그 꿈을 실현하라”고 말씀하셨으며, 항상 긍정적 생각으로 최선을 다하여 꿈을 이루셨다고 합니다. 그 육영의지를 받들어 한라대학교의 학생 모두가 자신의 소중한 꿈을 실현할 수 있도록 혼신의 힘을 다하겠습니다.

Small but strong "glocal" Halla University dreams of bringing the world together with Halla Group! We would like to introduce the future that Halla University aims to create. All members of the university hope that Halla University will become a cradle of dreams and happiness, and the best small but strong university in the world. To this end, we hereby make four promises to you.

First, we will become a totally “student-centered university.” At present, our society demands creative talents, integrated talents, leadership, and specialized talents beyond the standard that merely judges students by their university brand. Therefore, university education should be immediately switched in a direction that enables students to discover their talents and display their originality. Second, we will become an “innovative university through communication and harmony.” One of the key competencies emphasized by our society is communication. Communication is not only a core skill in forming new relationships but also a way of creating synergy effects. If all the members of our university learn to communicate in a bidirectional way rather than one way, the innovations that we dream of will be realized in the near future. Third, we will become a “university that cultivates Halla People, a university where everyone is happy and lives happily forever.” People with dreams are happy. Our founder, Jung In-young, had many dreams throughout his lifetime, and he was happy to devote his passion, health and life to realizing his dreams. Halla University strives to help students, employees, and professors to find and develop their dreams and enhance their capabilities to help them realize their dreams. Fourth, we will be a university that realizes the values of “communication, consideration, creative challenges, and the development of excellent capabilities” based on ethical management. Strong ethics are the foundation of the spirit of the founder and Halla Group, as well as the basic spirit that Halla University should follow. Moreover, ethical management and the three above-mentioned values will be our core enduring values in the ever-changing future society. Our four promises reflect the history of Halla University. The educational aim of our founder and late honorary president Jung In-young was to nurture top-level human resources in order to enhance national competitiveness, and this has become a key driving force in facing the rapid changes of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. All the members of Halla University hope that our university will develop into a home of dreams and happiness, and become a small but strong university in the world, together with Halla Group.
