“aSSIST University is operated based on the philosophy of 4T’s (eThics, Teamwork, Technology, and sTorytelling)”, emphasized Dr. Kim.

To explain in more detail, eThics is considered the most important out of the four values. In many of the programs and lectures provided by the school, the concept of ‘eThics’ is emphasized and taught at least 5 minutes.
