Christian University

Nearly two hundred years ago the first group of American Protestant missionaries arrived in Thailand. They began their ministries by establishing educational and medical institutions for Siamese people in those days as expressions of their love, faith and hope in God. Christian University of Thailand is one of the prestigious institutions established by the Church of Christ in Thailand on September 7, 1983. The Ministry of University Affairs authorized Christian College to offer the first bachelor’s degree program in Nursing Science. The college was temporarily located on the 6th and 7th floors of the Dr. Dan Beech Bradley Building of Bangkok Christian Hospital in the heart of the financial district on Silom Road, Bangkok. In recognition of the growth and stature of Christian College, on August 15, 2001 the Ministry of University Affairs re-chartered the status of the college to become the “Christian University” now officially named the Christian University of Thailand.
