Overview

Two of major driving forces are paradigm shifts in communication and media industry due to exponential growth of the Internet and digital technologies and the dynamic global and multicultural environment such as “the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)”. Educational institutions at all levels must prepare their students for this new social and economic landscape, and an arrival of ASEAN integration and its collaboration with economic giants such as China, India, Japan and South Korea. Bangkok University (BU) as the oldest and largest private university in Thailand with its missions to produce creative graduates with an entrepreneurial spirit for the creative economy is committed to produce personnel and develop human resources qualified as global citizens for the future including the AEC. Accordingly, it is timely that a Ph.D. curriculum in Communication Arts is revised in order to reflect BU’s current missions and satisfy the human resources needs for society development to achieve its developmental goals.
