History

Founded in 1946 as Kookmin College in Seoul, the Korean War created a situation in which it was advantageous to move south rather than staying in the Seoul area. In 1952, Kookmin College was rechristened Haein College and then in 1956, the college relocated to Korea's southern coast and has been in the city of Masan since that time. In 1961, the institution was renamed Masan College.
