| Earn an
American or British degree in the Land of Smiles, Thailand |

| Exactly the same degree
that could be earned in the USA or England |
| Choosing
where to go to college is one of the most important decisions in one’s
life. Costs, academics, location and social life all need to be taken
into account. If someone told you it is possible to earn a degree from
an accredited and respectable American or British University in a location
where the cost of living is: only a fraction of that of the USA, that has
beautiful weather, that is filled with friendly people, that offers an
opportunity to gain international experience and that is know for its legendary
nightlife, would you be interested? It is possible here in the Land
of Smiles Thailand. |

| A number of
people have contacted me after reading my article about Graduate schools
in Bangkok, "Back to School in Bangkok," in Escape from America
Magazine.
Readers have
asked me a number of questions One concern nearly everyone interested in
going to university in Thailand seems to have is whether or not
a degree from a Thai University would be recognized as legitimate degree
in the USA, Australia, NZ or Europe.
This is
a very legitimate concern, especially for Americans.
Unfortunately
we Americans have earned our reputation of being extremely ethnocentric
and many Americans lack even the basic understanding of other nations and
cultures. I suspect that some Human Resource personnel who make the hiring
decisions for US companies don’t even know that Thailandand Taiwan are
two different countries.
Many Americans
will automatically assume that any degree earned outside the USA, especially
in a developing country, is inferior to an American degree. |

| But it is
possible to eliminate that problem and to earn an American beach resort
town of Hua Hin, but still only a few hours south of Bangkok.
Webster also
has a number of other campuses around the world, so if a person wanted
to spent a year in Thailand, a year in St. Louis and a couple of
years in Europe while doing a four year degree it would be possible. There
are a number of other international programs where the degrees come from
Thai Universities.
Chulalongkorn,
Assumption and Bangkok Universities are especially well respected for their
international programs.Check out the Yahoo directory of Colleges and Universities
in Thailand. Going to university overseas surely is not for everyone
but it may be an option for the more adventurous individuals who want to
experience new ideas and cultures. |

| Thailand
is a politically stable country that is fairly safe, much safer than
most US cities. Thailand is known for its exotic culture, friendly
people (Land of Smiles), delicious food and famous nightlife.
If you choose
to come to school in Thailand you will undoubtedly experience things
your average American never has the chance to, and I seriously doubt you
will ever regret the decision.
