History
The roots of Dongguk University Los Angeles reach back to 1976, when Dr. Harvart R. Hongo began teaching the fundamentals of acupuncture and Oriental medicine at his Sei Shin Acupuncture Clinic. Encouraged by his patients, who wished to learn more about this wonderful healing art, Dr. Hongo took the initial steps toward his goal of combining research and educational pursuits, along with providing charitable health services to the surrounding community. Dr. Hongo's goal materialized in 1979 with the founding of Royal University of America, consisting of three faculty and eleven students.
In January of 1997, Dongguk (translates as "East Country") University, one of South Korea's oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning, especially known for its outstanding College of Oriental Medicine, joined to manage Royal University of America, renaming it Dongguk University Los Angeles (DULA). Collectively, these two institutions, on either side of the Pacific, have been educating students for over a century.
