The Faculty of Economics offers a wide-spectrum of courses, taught in English, as part of the EEBA and BECON curriculum. Currently, our approved curriculum includes over 50 classes, most of which earn 3 units of credit (15 weeks of class; 1 hour of instruction per academic credit) based on western standards reflecting instructional class time, assessment methodologies, and class prep workload.
We also assist visiting students to develop study plans making use of English-language programs offered by other faculty departments, such as Business Administration, Tourism Management, Agriculture or Engineering. Thai language and culture courses are open to foreign students.
