Founded in 2002, Inje University’s Department of Special Education trains special educators and special education experts who teach children with disabilities or developmental issues. Students can choose to obtain special education licenses for early childhood, elementary, and middle school children, and it is possible to acquire two or more licenses. 
By emphasizing field education alongside theoretical instruction, the department provides ample opportunities for field practice and education for the students. The students may also study abroad at the University of Minnesota through a program offered by the department. The department curriculum received a grade of A in the educator training institution evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology in 2011, by demonstrating its superiority.
