[7] It has small classes taught by approximately 100 Korean and international faculty, many who hold undergraduate and/or graduate degrees from prestigious western institutions, such as Ivy League and Oxbridge universities.

[18] It regularly posts a list of job and internship opportunities, and sponsors career-related workshops for students every academic semester.

[19][20] It also works with the Global Career Society, an internal group within the CDC, and the UIC dormitory houses in the Residential College program to host events for students.

During these trips, students have the opportunity to meet with industry professionals, who often share their career pathways and experiences, as well as tips about the recruitment process.

Past trips have involved travel to major business districts in Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, New York, San Francisco, and Singapore.

[22] The UIC faculty body was initially mostly young and untenured, with little power to affect decisions made by the central administration.

[26] Before his death in 2008, Horace Underwood, a professor emeritus at Yonsei University, stated that moving UIC to Songdo International Business District will "destroy" it.

A post on the College of Economics and Commerce Student Council's Facebook page announced that the department would eliminate five major courses.

Secondly, the Scribe article observed the lack of full-time faculty as well as the English skills of certain lecturers, two factors that have led to the criticism that UIC is a "a stilted, substandard version of the intellectually engaging and challenging academic scene the college promotes."

This highlighted the irony that UIC was advertised as a global learning environment despite the dissatisfaction felt by the members of its international community.
