Student & Faculty Exchange Programs

Student and faculty exchange programs have been established with Chulalongkorn University and with Thammasat University, both top ranked universities located in Bangkok, Thailand. Chulalongkorn University, established in 1917, is Thailand’s oldest higher education institution, while Thammasat University is the second oldest university in Thailand with six campuses across the country. Establishing a strong student exchange program with Chulalongkorn and Thammasat Universities will allow the Robert H. Smith School of Business to grow its presence in Bangkok and expand the exchange program to invite other universities in Thailand, including Chiang Mai University, which has three campuses in Thailand.

Supply Chain Management Executive Education Program

The program includes plans for Smith to collaborate with the Thai government and partner universities to explore initiatives that expand business education in Southeast Asia, including a platform for Thai-based executive education initiatives. Smith School Supply Chain Professor, Dr. Sandor Boyson, will attend the first sponsored trip in January 2010 and present a four-day, non-credit executive class to Thai professionals in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Executives participating in the custom non-credit courses of the executive education program will benefit from the Smith School’s world class faculty who bring thought leadership to an organization as a means to develop and implement effective strategies to maximize ROI.
