Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, Chonburi unit (Wat Yai Intharam) at a glance
Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University is one of Thailand's two state Buddhist universities, and it teaches in Chonburi through an academic service unit (หน่วยวิทยบริการ) of its Faculty of Social Sciences, hosted at Wat Yai Intharam, a royal monastery in Mueang Chonburi. The unit's own site lists three awards: a Bachelor of Arts in Buddhist Management, a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and a certificate in Sangha administration. Both degree curricula were re-approved by the university council on 27 August 2020, taking effect from the first semester of 2021.
Its status is genuinely in transition and we are not going to guess at it. The site is branded วิทยาลัยสงฆ์ชลบุรี -- Chonburi Buddhist College -- but its own body text still describes the operation as an academic service unit, and the most recent posts on it date from late 2020, when an MCU committee inspected the site for readiness to upgrade it to a full college and the president of the Chonburi Buddhist Association offered 7 rai of land for the purpose. We could not find a first-party page confirming that the upgrade completed. Treat it as a live route to a Thai-language bachelor's degree in Chonburi city, and confirm the current status and intake with the unit.
Notable facts
