Every day, a tremendous amount of information is created, modified, and stored digitally.
Companies are racing to utilize this information, now called “big data”, in hopes of future-proofing their business and making smarter decisions.
Our PSM Business Analytics (Biztics) degree is the first program of its kind in Korea.
Combining both education and training, it prepares students to become analysts and effective decision makers.
In Biztics, students learn professional analysis techniques and develop a mastery of statistics, data mining, and analysis programming. Supplemental courses on market analysis, management strategy, information management, and more are also available.
Additionally, UNIST leverages its strong relationships with overseas research institutes and scholars, creating new opportunities for education at the highest level.
Get informed, stay knowledgeable, and learn to interpret this rapidly changing market for success in corporate management.
Become a business analysis expert by joining the UNIST Business Analytics program.

Professional Science Master
The Professional Science Master’s (PSM) degree is science-plus, combining rigorous study in science or mathematics, with the added real-world benefit of skills-based coursework in management, policy, or law. The PSM started in 1997, with only 14 programs available in America. Now, as of January 2018, more than 335 programs from 165 institutions are developed and utilized throughout America, Canada, Australia, and Asia. GSIM’s PSM programs provide a set of curricula relevant to business fundamentals, financial and organizational behavior with an emphasis on science, technology, and management. The Energy Commodity Trading and Financial Engineering (ECTFE) program and Business Analytics (Biztics) program at UNIST GSIM are the first approved PSM programs across all of Asia, including Korea.
