Luther University is a private university located in Giheung-gu, Yongin, South Korea. The website is www.ltu.ac.kr[1]

History

As part of the efforts to become a fully operational church and functioning place of training, Luther Theological Academy (LTA) was established in 1966 by Rev. Dr. Won-Yong Ji (1924-2012).[2] This laid the foundation for what would later become Luther Theological University and is currently referred to as Luther University or commonly called "LTU".

Recent Challenges

In 2015, an evaluation by the Ministry of Education rated the university in the lowest E group, resulting in the Ministry halting its monetary support and barring the University from all state-funded programs.[3]
