Sejong University's Humanities and Social Sciences program (Type 2) offers a unique "career exploration type major selection" system. This approach allows students to enter the university without a predetermined major within the humanities and social sciences. For the first year, students focus on foundational liberal arts courses while exploring various departments within the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Social Sciences. This flexibility provides an opportunity for students who are undecided about their career path or feel they need a better understanding of different academic fields to make a more informed decision when choosing their major at the beginning of their second year. This student-centered educational environment aims to foster well-rounded individuals with the ability to adapt to the future.

The Humanities Colloquium is a specialized first-year experience within the Faculty of Arts designed to provide an interdisciplinary introduction to Western civilization through seminal works of art, literature, history, and philosophy. It is ideal for students interested in these subjects who thrive in small class settings that encourage debate and discussion. This program serves as a strong foundation for any major within the Faculty of Arts, fostering critical thinking, writing skills, and a deep understanding of diverse cultural traditions. The goal is to equip students with the tools to think independently, rather than to impose a singular way of thinking.
