It can be seen that the MD of Mokwon University is intended to enhance the efficiency and utility of education. Next is the operating system. Mokwon University operates MD in liberal arts and GCP MDs. Among them, the liberal arts were divided into detailed MDs in 10 areas, and various subjects were arranged around each competency. Students can earn dual degrees by completing 12 credits in one of these areas and 36 credits in three areas. Second, the contents and direction of the education MD of Mokwon University. First is the educational content. Mokwon University MD has eased the boundaries of liberal arts by area and restructured by competencies to make it easier for students to learn what they want. The 'Communication Master Course' MD consists of basic, advanced, and extended subjects on the premise of communication skills as educators and professionals. This course is designed to collect the courses related to communication in various fields and to learn in stages. In all ten fields of Liberal Arts MD, the educational contents were composed to have the convergence and multi-disciplinary characteristics of scholarship. Next is the direction of education. Liberal Arts Each field has its own direction of education. This is because the curriculum consists of various subjects ranging from the basic level of education to the level of advanced majors. In the case of the ‘Communication Master Course’ MD, students were trained in both the communication skills required to be educated and the communication skills required as professionals. However, mastering all of your liberal arts and professional communication skills can help you with all your college or social work. It started with the basic knowledge of communication and had a certain direction so that students could acquire expertise in stages. Third is the educational effect of MD. Mokwon University MD can achieve or expect its own educational effect. First, the scope of education and the scope of benefits can be expanded. By combining various disciplines with a common competency, the contents of education could be greatly expanded. In other words, the scope of education could be so diverse. This inevitably caused the beneficiary's category to expand. Similar subjects were grouped around competencies, which attracted students from various majors. Next, the curriculum was organized in stages in one category to enable education not only in liberal arts but also in the major level. In other words, education was facilitated from basic education to deepening of majors. Finally, it is possible to diversify academic operations. It is to ensure the diversity of degree acquisition by operating a practical and open system in addition to the existing school system. Fourth, it is a suggestion for the development plan of MD. Not only Mokwon University, but also all universities that run MD, must be supplemented for the institutional settlement and development of MD. First of all, education conditions should be secured. This means that administrative and financial backing should be met. It is not considered a temporary curriculum to cope with social change, but should be considered essential to the development of the university and supported by administration and enactment. Next, a change in the perception of school system is required. While the existing school system must be recognized as it is, it is necessary to find a path by combining various academic fields with new capabilities. To this end, it is necessary to realize that existing interdisciplinary systems are right and that interdisciplinary convergence can maximize the utility. Finally, constant changes need to be made by instructors and support departments that run MDs. Since MD emerged to proactively cope with social change, continuous change is the fate of everyone involved. Instructors must keep up with the demands of society and reflect them in their education, and school authorities must support educational materials, administration, and finances for changing situations.
