History and Background

     The Faculty of Management Science was established following the reorganization of government units within Suan Sunandha Teachers College, pursuant to the Notification of the Ministry of Education on the Reorganization of Government Units in Teachers Colleges dated 30 October B.E. 2527 (1984). At that time, the institution operated under the name Suan Sunandha Teachers College, and the academic unit was designated as the Faculty of Management Science. The College appointed Ajarn Premjit Sarawasi as Head of the Founding Committee, responsible for overseeing the establishment of the Faculty.
     During its initial phase, the Faculty commenced instruction by offering the Business Education Program. Subsequently, in B.E. 2530 (1987), the Faculty developed and introduced an Associate Degree Program in Liberal Arts with a specialization in General Management. On 17 April B.E. 2530 (1987), the Faculty of Management Science was officially recognized as a government unit of Suan Sunandha Teachers College, as announced in the Royal Gazette. Its mandate encompassed academic administration and the provision of instruction at the associate degree and two-year continuing bachelor’s degree levels.
     In B.E. 2538 (1995), the Rajabhat Institute Act, B.E. 2538 (1995), came into force, resulting in the elevation of the institution to Suan Sunandha Rajabhat Institute. Consequently, the Faculty was formally renamed the Faculty of Management Science and became an integral academic unit of the Institute under the provisions of the Act. Later, in B.E. 2547 (2004), His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej graciously promulgated the Rajabhat University Act, B.E. 2547 (2004), thereby conferring university status upon the institution. Since then, the Faculty has operated under the name Faculty of Management Science, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University.
     The Faculty’s core missions are to provide academic and professional education across various disciplines, conduct research, deliver academic services to society, promote and develop technology, and preserve and foster arts and cultural heritage. Academic instruction was organized into two major disciplinary clusters: Business Administration and Communication Arts. In B.E. 2563 (2020), the University Council of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University approved the transfer of personnel and students in the Communication Arts cluster to establish an independent academic unit, the College of Communication Arts.

At present, the Faculty of Management Science offers undergraduate programs in the field of business administration, comprising three degree programs and six areas of specialization, as follows:

1. Bachelor of Accountancy Program

2. Bachelor of Economics Program (Business Economics)

3. Bachelor of Business Administration Program, with specializations in:

   - Human Resource Management
   - Finance and Banking
   - Marketing
   - International Business
   - Service Business Management
   - Entrepreneurship
