On Sept. 18, HUFS administration announced that two colleges and two departments’ names will be changed to strengthen the competency of the university through the expansion of educational content and form, and establish ground for future curricula. 

Earlier, there had been complaints about the incomprehensibility of the names of several majors. Therefore, to resolve the matter, the “College of Chinese” and “College of Japanese” will be changed to “College of Chinese Studies,” and “College of Japanese Studies.” As for departments, the “Department of Persian” and “Division of International Sports and Leisure”  will be revised to “Department of Persian and Iranian Studies,” and “Division of Global Sport Industry.”

In concurrence with the change, one of the administrators commented, “Overall, the revision was made to clearly represent majors,” and added “Right now, only the names will be changed, but we hope that this lays the foundation of both departments and colleges to increase future opportunities for students.”
