Following its unprecedented second consecutive selection in 2024 for the Remote University Education Innovation Support Project, the university has now, within less than a year, also been chosen as the only major cyber university to win the 2025 Cyber University Digital Learning Environment Advancement Project. This series of accomplishments is being hailed as a rare feat in the education community, with experts remarking that “the standard for cyber universities has been elevated.”

The Digital Learning Environment Advancement Project, newly established after four years, aims to build future-ready educational models centered on AI and XR technologies. Seoul Cyber University proposed a visionary initiative titled “Empowering Adult Learners through EduTech-based OMNI Class,” earning high marks with its immersive and practical learning environment model featuring AI simulators, interactive LMS, and XR content.

Through this project, the university is overcoming the traditional limitations of practice-based disciplines?such as Vocal Music, Piano, Applied Music, Fine Arts, Music Therapy, and Architectural Space Design?by leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies. Notably, the OMNI Class Studio and AI-based discussion and mentoring systems are designed to maximize real-time interaction between professors and students, fundamentally addressing the long-standing issue of a lack of hands-on experience often associated with cyber universities.

President Eun-Joo Lee stated, “Our repeated selection for major government-funded programs is a testament to both the innovation potential of cyber universities and the systemic competitiveness of Seoul Cyber University,” adding, “We will continue to set new standards in higher education with practical, flexible, and learner-centered education models tailored for adult learners.”

Previously, the university also became the first cyber university to be selected twice in a row for the Remote University Education Innovation Support Project, hosted by the Ministry of Education and KERIS. In the first round, it was the only one among the four selected institutions nationwide to receive an “Excellent” rating, earning it a reputation as the “Ivy League” of cyber universities. With robust government funding, Seoul Cyber University is now transforming the higher education landscape with next-generation models that extend learning opportunities to marginalized communities.
