The dramatic changes in the way people live in modern society have led to an increase in emergency situations such as cardiac arrest and thus the need for appropriate BLS. This study is to examine the level of knowledge of BLS among undergraduate students. The respondents are 990 students attending Universities in Kyung Gi and Kang Won province, and the data from the BLS questionnaire was analyzed by SPSS 14.0 Version. The findings from this study were as follows: First, 12.16 out of 22 points was an average score(55.27 in case of covert into a percentage) of all subjects, and there was a significant differences between grade(p=.000), major(p=.006), and education experience(p=.000) in terms of general background. Second, in terms of major category, there was a significant differences between grade(p=.000), and education experience(p=.000) of the students majored in physical education and medical & nursing science. Third, in terms of education experience category, there was a significant differences between grade(p=.000), and major(p=.025) in the students educated about BLS. The results of the study showed a lack of knowledge and education opportunity among undergraduate students about BLS. More exposure to or proper education of BLS, therefore, is required. Additionally, the regular reeducation of the students who majored in physical education and medical & nursing science or the students educated about BLS is also recommended.
