‘A female-friendly university’ assessment was the first field that Joonang ilbo conducted among yearly university assessments nationwide. Except for women’s universities, the results were based on several categories such as: the rate of female faculty, employment rates, and school regulations for female students.

Additionally, KIU has been also recognized in several areas, for example: high employment rate ( 8th) in 2014, a number of startup students(1st) in 2015 according to Joonang ilbo.
