Economics, Tourism and Political Studies
Why Study in Bangkok?
The Bangkok program offers courses that introduce you to the politics, economics, philosophy, religion, tourism, hospitality and language of Thailand, as well as those of other Southeast Asian countries. You will choose among courses offered by the International College, which are all taught in English. The program integrates these disciplines in order to respond to the ever-changing issues and events surrounding Thailand and Southeast Asia. You may choose to study for a summer, semester, two semesters or a year, which includes the summer program.
The Bangkok program is administered in the U.S. by USAC and in Bangkok, Thailand by the Rangsit University International College Coordinator who is responsible for the overall operations of the program abroad: securing appropriate student housing, assisting with registration and overseeing your general well-being.
Dr. Gessanee S. Maneerutt, a native of Thailand, is the Rangsit University College Program Coordinator for the Bangkok program and is fluent in Thai and English. Gessanee will meet you at the airport, take you to your housing and provide an on-site orientation.
