History
Unlike most technical colleges in South Korea, it began its existence as a public institution: Andong Nursing High School (안동간호고등기술학교), which was founded in 1967. The school was redesignated a technical school in 1972. In 1983, it was officially taken over by a private organization, the Jangchun Educational Foundation (학교법인 장춘학원), and was known as Andong Technical College of Health and Nursing. It became a general technical college in 1992. The school took on its current name, Andong Science College, in 1998.
In the fall of 1997, the Department of Tourism English began using native English speakers to augment their English programs. The students would eventually work in the travel industry across South Korea.
At that time the department hired Brian Curneal and Christopher Brogan of Lansing, MI to teach Conversational English. Both teachers began teaching Conversational English to Elementary school teachers. Later in the spring of 1997 Mr. Curneal and Mr. Brogan began teaching the college freshmen and sophamores Converstional English in ernest. They both continued teaching at Angong Junior College, the common English name for the school, until the end of the 2nd semester (Fall) of 1997. During their short tenure there they also taught Conversational English to many of the school's instructors and professors.
