Hannam University (한남대학교 / HNU) is a prominent private Christian comprehensive university located in Daejeon, South Korea. Founded in 1956 by American missionaries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States led by Dr. William A. Linton, the university was established on the founding principles of 'Truth, Freedom, and Service'. Hannam holds historical significance for launching the Linton School of Global Business (formerly Linton Global College), one of Korea’s pioneering undergraduate colleges conducted entirely in English with an international faculty. The university is widely recognized for international trade and business, biotechnology and nanotechnology, computer engineering, artificial intelligence, optical science, multimedia and design, and Korean language and cultural education. Operating an integrated dual-campus structure in Daejeon—widely celebrated as the 'Silicon Valley of South Korea'—Hannam's Ojeong-dong Main Campus provides a scenic pine woodland collegiate environment featuring landmark modern halls, student residences, the central library, and the preserved Missionary Village (Ojeong-dong Missionaries' House), while its Daedeok Valley Campus is situated directly inside the Daedeok Innopolis national high-tech research cluster, housing the College of Life Science and Nanotechnology with deep ties to national R&D institutes.
