Thailand: Chulalongkorn Business School

Please visit Global Academic Procedures for detailed credit and other academic information.

You will take a course load of 12-15 hours at Chulalongkorn and can transfer a combination of business core and elective courses. The curriculum at Chulalongkorn includes a wide range of offerings in management, finance, and international business.

Courses taken at Chulalongkorn University will transfer back to UNC Pass (Chulalongkorn grade of C and above)/Fail (Chulalongkorn grade of C- and below). Pass grades do not affect your UNC GPA. Fail grades transfer back to UNC as Fs, which will affect your UNC GPA. Though transfer credit for this program is Pass/Fail, future employers and graduate schools will also look at the Chulalongkorn transcript, so grades are important.

You will transfer back 3 UNC credits for every 3-credit course at Chulalongkorn, and are expected to take either four or five courses worth 3 credits each during the semester. If you earn a C or better in all courses you will receive a total of 12-15 UNC credits for your semester abroad.

This program also fulfills the Experiential Education requirement. Full-time enrollment in this program is defined as a minimum of 12 credit hours.

You will have the opportunity to stay at the Evergreen Apartment, conveniently located about a 15-minute walk from the campus and near public transport. Evergreen apartments have two bedrooms, two private bathrooms and a shared living room. Chulalongkorn University will arrange these accommodations for you. If you arrive early, you will stay at a local hotel, where Chulalongkorn University has a corporate rate, until you move into your apartment.

Do you have a valid passport? If yes, check your passport’s expiration date to ensure that your passport is valid at least 6 months after your program’s scheduled end date. If not, you’ll need to submit a passport renewal application.

Do you need to apply for a passport (first time or renew)? If yes, we recommend that you get started on your passport application right away as you’ll need time to collect documents like your birth certificate to include as part of your application. For complete instructions click here.

Will I need immigration documents? If you are accepted into this program you will need to travel to a Thai consulate/embassy in the United States to obtain a visa permitting you to study in Thailand. For this appointment, you will need your passport in hand along with other documentation from our office and the host university office. Please set up an appointment with your Global Programs Advisor to discuss.
