| Background | Burapha
University is a public university located in Bangsaen, Chonburi, about
100
km. from Bangkok, in the Eastern Seaboard Area of Thailand. The campus covers
an area of 256 acres. It was first established as the Bangsaen College of
Education
in 1955-the first tertiary education institution ever established
outside of Bangkok- to
produce graduates in teacher education. In 1984, when
the Prasarnmitr College of
Education in Bangkok was upgraded to university
level and named Srinakharinwirot
University, Bangsaen College of Education
was included as a branch campus and
started to offer several other degrees
besides teacher education. In 1990, due to
the need for more college-trained
personnel to implementation the Government's
Eastern Seaboard Development
Project to industrialize the area, the Bangsaen
Campus was upgraded to full
university level and renamed Burapha University,
which means "University
of the East".
Burapha
University has rapidly expanded since then. Enrollment in 2000 was
approximately
12,000 students,with over 500 teaching staff and over 300 general
staff.
There are 15 faculties and colleges: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences,
Education, Nursing, Public Health, Science, Engineering, Fine and Applied Arts,
Science
and Liberal Arts, Marine Technology, Graduate School, gems College,
Maritime College,
Graduate School of Commerce, Graduate School of Public Administration,
and Sport
Science College. In addition, the University also has a number
of advanced research
and service centers, such as the Library Center, the
Institute of Marine Science, the
Academic Services Center, the Computer Center,
the University Hospital, etc.
Burapha
University offers more than fifty programs of study, thirty programs at
the
Master's degree level, one Ed.D program, three Ph.D programs, and many short-
