The BA Humanities and Sustainability Program, referred to by our students as 'BAHS,' was conceived in 2021 and accepted its first class in the 2022 academic year. The program was designed to address two main needs. First, it aimed to fulfill the need for a complete English-taught program within the faculty, serving both Thai students and foreign nationals living in Thailand and abroad, aiming to provide a global standard of humanistic learning.

Secondly, the program responds to the increasing demand in the job market for graduates with well-rounded knowledge and versatile human skills. When the curriculum's drafting committee observed this changing trend, they embarked on a curriculum design journey that transformed the way we perceive humanities education in Thai universities. This transformation involved moving away from the traditional 'major' system and implementing flexible options in the curriculum structure, allowing students to acquire focused knowledge and skills while maintaining versatility.

Another challenge in curriculum design was to align the humanities with the current socioecological transformations, which are no longer limited to distant regions but can affect professional organizations directly. We have reached a moment where we, as 'homo economicus,' must fundamentally alter our methods of production and profit generation. Otherwise, there will be no resources left for us to consume. The program's goal is to produce humanities graduates who possess the practical skills to help organizations thrive sustainably upon graduation. We aim to nurture students who will become key contributors within organizations and societies, actively shaping and sustaining our economies for the benefit of fellow human beings and all living beings on this planet.
