KUBS Introduces New Master's Program: Business Analytics (BA)
– a year-long higher education program tailed to society
KUBS (Dean=Jae Wook Kim) plans to establish a Business Analytics major in the first semester of the 2020 academic year in order to meet the demands of the society. Through the one-year BA master's program, KUBS aims to lead the new paradigm of business administration education that combines high-tech information technology.
Entering the era of the fourth industrial revolution caused by rapid digitalization throughout the industry, the need for digital transformation is emerging, encompassing a completely different way of strategic management, BM, partnership, value chain and decision structure. Required capabilities include high-tech IT such as the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Big Data, and the establishment of a new platform that can foster comprehensive problem-solving skills based on convergence is imperative for future managers.
BA, a master's program at KUBS, will be established by recruiting new students once a year starting from the 2020 school year. Based on information ethics to support new types of decision making, a tailored system on the collection, access, integration, analysis, prediction and inference of large-scale data will be established. Unlike the existing master's and doctor's program at KUBS, the BA master's program is operated on a two-month module system; after completing a one-year program of a total of six modules, students can obtain a master's degree and quickly go into the field. In addition, instead of writing a dissertation, the capston project will be carried out to give students opportunities for on-site close training.
Through the BA master's program with a total of 32 credits, students will be able to expand their understanding of management based on knowledge in mathematical statistics and become data professionals with designing techniques, utilizing capabilities and information ethics for data analysis. Students will be engaged in a comprehensive area that requires cutting-edge technologies in digital and mobile sectors.
Applications for the 2020 academic year will run from Oct. 1 to Oct. 7. More information can be found on graduate.korea.ac.kr (Information about BA program, please contact: 02-3290-1363).
