Bachelor of Arts Program in Language and Culture (BALAC)
Following the success of our Thai B.A. program, Bachelor of Arts Program in Language and Culture (BALAC) is the Faculty of Arts’ international counterpart. In line with the University’s vision to create an atmosphere of international academic vibrancy, BALAC’s mission is to produce top-quality international graduates who are not only marked by their critical thinking skills but also by their ability to understand and make creative contributions to contemporary cultural trends nationally and internationally.
With the courses such as trends in cultural studies, visual culture, and gender studies, BALAC students will find our academic activities both intellectually stimulating and rewarding. In addition to their core and cultural study courses, BALAC students will have opportunities to enjoy language subjects aiming to equip them with additional language; and hence, broaden their perspectives in language and culture. Students can choose from a wide range of language classes at the Faculty of Arts depending on the availability and requirements of the courses.
