The quarter and academic year program curriculum offers a wide selection of courses (taught in English). Courses are held at Mahidol University International College (MUIC). KEI students are integrated with Thai and international students in all classes.

Students can enroll in up to 20 credits per quarter. Students enrolled in the academic year program (Fall, Winter and Spring quarters) can enroll in up to 60 (quarter) credits for the year. Most courses are 4 credits. Program transcripts are issued by MUIC and/or KEI's university of record (accredited in the USA).

Download the MUIC Yearly Course Schedule (MS Excel) for a tentative list of courses offered during the academic year. Courses offered in the Fall (Term 1), Winter (Term 2) and Spring (Term 3) are designated with a 1 or 2 in the corresponding column next to each course. Tabs at the bottom of the file let you switch between instructions and different subjects (science, humanities, ets.). Note that courses may change from those listed in the file. Contact a KEI advisor for updates.



COURSES, DESCRIPTIONS & SYLLABI

Due to severe flooding during the 2011 monsoon season, the following changes will be in effect for Summer 2012:
  • The Summer 2012 BIOCEP program in Thailand has been cancelled. The BIOCEP program in India will be offered.

  • Dates for the Spring 2012 Quarter have been changed to 21 May - 21 August.

  • Students who are interested in studying in Thailand for Summer 2012 can select courses from the Spring 2012 Quarter offerings.

  • $1000 Grant is available to the first 10 students who enroll in the Summer 2012 program. Grants will be applied to the regular Spring Quarter fee.
Professional internships are available in business, marketing, finance, international relations, media, tourism, hospitality, environment, medicine, health administration and humanitarian aid. Students are placed in local and international companies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), schools and humanitarian aid organizations. Medical and health administration internships are arranged at Mahidol University hospitals. Internships require a minimum commitment of 120 hours (3 credits), term paper and regular meetings with an internship supervisor.

Students can also participate in community service at humanitarian organizations, schools, orphanages and other organizations. Community service does not require a minimum commitment; schedules are more flexible than for internships. There is no credit for community service. Students who need academic credit should consider the internship option.
