This study conducted a systematic literature review(SLR) of empirical research on international students majoring in dance in Korea published between 2020 and 2025, examining research topic trends and methodological characteristics. Using PRISMA 2020 guidelines and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool(MMAT, 2018), the analysis revealed a strong predominance of non-randomized quantitative studies (81.6%) and a limited presence of qualitative research (2.6%). Findings indicated that the career development, university adaptation, and psychological experiences of international dance students were shaped through interactions within sociocultural contexts and the artistic practice of dance, rather than being confined to individual factors. However, existing studies largely adopted an individual-variable-centered approach, with limited integration of cultural and educational contexts. This review provided foundational insights for advancing the internationalization of dance education and improving research quality on international students.
