“This program also allows students to accumulate credits that can be transferred when they proceed to study at the Faculty of Business Administration and Accountancy, Khon Kaen University. These credits can be used as free electives or even transferred across majors, programs, or faculties within the university, significantly reducing the time required for a Bachelor’s degree.
