BALAC is Chulalongkorn University’s flagship global liberal arts program and Thailand’s first cultural studies program. Since 2008, it prepares students with 21st-century humanities skills, knowledge, and experiences to help them succeed in today’s world. BALAC has focused on teaching Cultural Studies in English along with foreign language competency. In doing so, it has fostered critical thinking, creative problem-solving and clear communication in its graduates. BALAC graduates also learn to have deep awareness of how cultural and socio-political issues shape our changing world. This unique set of skills allows BALAC graduates many opportunities and avenues for success. To help graduates cope with today’s changing landscape of the global workplace, two new concentrations were added in 2018 — Global Cultures and Media Cultures, along with new credit-based internship and research opportunities. Students have a wider range of Cultural Studies classes to choose from, including many with a stronger practical orientation and real-world skills.
