The First Private Higher Education Institution in Thailand<\/h2>

Educational Philosophy: \u201cEducation based on \u2018Truth-Service\u2019 to create good and capable people with morality, to develop and serve society.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>

\u00a0 \u00a0 The Church of Christ in Thailand had a commitment for over 50 years to establish a Christian higher education institution. However, this intention was halted due to various reasons. In 1969, when the government enacted a law allowing private entities to establish higher education institutions, the Church of Christ in Thailand revived the idea in 1970 by upgrading the existing institutions, McCormick School of Nursing and Midwifery and McGilvary Theological Seminary, to higher education institutions. A committee was appointed to establish a private college under the Church of Christ in Thailand. Eventually, the government granted permission to establish Payap College on March 21, 1974. The college initially offered bachelor\u2019s degrees in seven fields and an associate degree in one field, with the first batch of 189 students from 15 provinces. Later, Payap College was granted permission to change its status from \u201ccollege\u201d to \u201cuniversity\u201d on July 25, 1984, becoming the first private university in Thailand.<\/p>

Payap University is abbreviated as P.Y.U. in English.<\/p>

Payap University is accredited by the Ministry of University Affairs and the Civil Service Commission (CSC), which recognizes the qualifications of graduates from Payap University as equivalent to those from state institutions.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
