Opportunities for University of Wisconsin-Madison undergraduate business students to study abroad in Asia will expand next fall. An exchange partnership with Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand is being developed. The International Programs office at the UW-Madison School of Business will begin accepting applications this spring for students to study at Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy beginning next fall.
Chulalongkorn University by general consensus is Thailand’s leading university. Its business curriculum, which is delivered in English, is ranked among the top five programs in East Southeast Asia. The central location in Bangkok offers students the opportunity to experience Thai culture and to observe economic activities in the modern center of business for mainland Southeast Asia.
UW-Madison and Thailand have many close ties. The Wisconsin Alumni Association in Thailand is large and active. The dean of the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy at Chulalongkorn University is a UW-Madison Business alumna. Both institutions are members of the Pacific Asian Consortium for International Business Education and Research (PACIBER).
A Study Abroad Information Session on Chulalongkorn University and other upcoming study abroad programs by the International Programs Office of the School of Business will be held Wednesday, Feb. 1 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in Grainger Hall. For more information, call 608/265-5017.
