The Department of Big Data Entrepreneurship and Business at Changwon National University aims to provide an integrated education that connects people (talent), data, and business (entrepreneurship) based on data analysis capabilities.

Through courses in statistics and data analysis, market and commercial district analysis, business model design, and project-based learning, students experience the entire process of "analysis, insight generation, and execution." This supports career expansion into areas such as public and corporate data analysis, marketing and commercial district or real estate analysis, and entrepreneurship or business development.

Department Chair Jeon stated, "This end-of-term ceremony was an occasion to encourage the efforts of the past semester and share the educational direction our department pursues. Moving forward, we will further strengthen practical, hands-on education to nurture talent that will lead regional industries and diverse entrepreneurial businesses."

Meanwhile, the Department of Big Data Entrepreneurship and Business at Changwon National University plans to continue expanding its role as an educational hub that fosters talent with both data-driven problem-solving skills and entrepreneurial execution capabilities, thereby promoting the joint growth of the university and the local community.
