Background of International Buddhist Studies College 

The University has, since its inception, conducted its educational program in the Thai medium for local students, and for any foreign students sufficiently conversant with the Thai language. The Graduate School has recently developed a strong desire to expand its post-graduate program, so that students from all over the world, who are interested in Buddhism, will be provided with a good opportunity to pursue research in Buddhist Studies.

The present International Buddhist Studies College (IBSC) was developed from the International Master of Arts Program (IMAP), which has been operating since 2000 (B.E. 2543). Later, in 2013 (B.E. 2556), the University Council of MCU approved the setting up of IBSC with the purposes to carry out Buddhist Studies. This is to fulfill the university’s vision of being ‘an International Buddhist Education Center’ for monks, novices and laity.
