Burapha University (BUU) (Thai: มหาวิทยาลัยบูรพา) is one of Thailand's public universities. It is in the coastal town of Saen Suk,[4] near the beach of Bangsaen in Chonburi province. It was established on 8 July 1955, originating from Bangsaen Educational College which was the first regional tertiary educational institute.[5] The university offers degrees in more than 50 programs of study, including 75 master's programs, three EdD programs, and 22 PhD programs.
Burapha University has three campuses:[4]
- Burapha University, Chonburi Campus, Mueang Chonburi district, Chonburi province established in 1955.[6]
- Burapha University, Chanthaburi Campus, Tha Mai district, Chanthaburi province established in 1996.[7]
- Burapha University, Sakaeo Campus, Watthana Nakhon district, Sa Kaeo province established in 1997.[8]
The university colors are gray and gold. Gray represents the progress of intellectual knowledge. Gold represents morality. The colors represent University's commitment to the intellectual knowledge and morality.[9]
In September 2016, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha invoked Section 44 of the interim charter allowing him to form a special panel to take over administration of the university as it was judged to be incapable of administering itself.[10]
