GIST College offers a diverse and rich curriculum focusing on the "3Cs and 1P." This consists of an intensive course of study of basic sciences and engineering as well as an extensive course of liberal arts, which give an understanding of the values and traditions of our society. These two together will be a foundation for our students to become innovative future scientists and engineers.

GIST College applies the term “concentration” to its courses of study instead of “major” to highlight that these courses include not only specialized classes but also to emphasize flexibility for collaborative and interdisciplinary education and research. Restriction on credits in a Concentration required for graduation: GIST College restricts the number of credits taken within a concentration to ensure that students receive an interdisciplinary and well-rounded education by taking a variety of courses. Students are able to take electives from among courses in other concentrations or among graduate courses. Students who have selected a concentration are still able to take electives in liberal arts and sciences. Students with declared concentrations should take “GIST College Concentration Seminars” which are designed to give them exposure to academic knowledge outside of their usual course content.
