The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences was first established in 1955 as the Faculty of Humanistic and Social Studies affiliated with the College of Education, Bangsaen, the first regional tertiary institution ever established in Thailand under the department of Teacher’s Training, Ministry of Education. At the outset, the Faculty of Humanistic and Social Studies offered bachelor’s degree programs in only few disciplines such as, history , social sciences, geography, Thai, English and fine arts. In 1974, when the College of Education was upgraded to be Srinakharinwirot University, the Faculty of Humanistic and Social Sciences at Bangsaen campus was divided into the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences.
In 1990,Srinakharinwirot University at Bangsaen was given its autonomy and was named Burapha University. The Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences were then merged and have become the “Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences” ever since.
