This study purposed to examine the trends of the circle of economics in Korea during the 20 years after the Liberation, focusing on Economics education in the College of Commerce and Economics of Yonsei University. After the Liberation, the Division of Commerce of Yonhee School was settled into the Department of Economics and Department of Commercial Science under the College of Commerce and Economics in 1950. With the outbreak of the Korean War, which was a collision between the two systems, many economists left the university as they went or were kidnapped to North Korea or for ideological reasons. The College of Commerce and Economics of Yonsei University filled the gap by inviting competent people among its alumni, and the students compensated the loss of class through research activities and seminars led by the Commerce and Economics Research Club Y.S.U. The College of Commerce and Economics of Yonsei University established its self identify clearly through the reorganization of the college in the late 1950s. As the Washington University Project was promoted in the late 1950s, the College of Commerce and Economics of Yonsei University was finally settled to have the Department of Business Administration that tried to establish the theoretical and practical foundation of business administration by accepting new trends such as American business administration theories, case study oriented curriculums, and discussion based teaching methods. And the Department of Economics that pursued “Korean style economics” from a subjective position by analyzing economic issues in Korea positively and critically and suggesting alternatives.
