Kosin University (고신대학교) is a private Christian comprehensive university based in Busan and Cheonan, South Korea. Established in September 1946 as Korea Theological Seminary (고려신학교) by Reverend Han Sang-dong and contemporaries of Pastor Joo Ki-cheol who resisted mandatory Shinto shrine worship during the Japanese colonial era, the institution is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in Korea (Kosin denomination). In 1951, humanitarian medical pioneer Dr. Chang Kee-ryo (celebrated as the "Albert Schweitzer of Korea") co-founded the Kosin University Gospel Hospital (고신대학교 복음병원), establishing the university's reputation as a national healthcare and cancer treatment institution. Today, Kosin University operates a multi-campus structure specializing in clinical medicine, nursing, allied rehabilitation sciences, Christian theology, social welfare, early childhood education, and church music.
