    Master's degree in Thailand?

    So I've fallen in love with Thailand, and not planning on leaving any time soon.

    I'm thinking about getting my master's degree in education/teaching, and was wondering if any schools here (I live in Bangkok) offer a program that would be reputable if I ever return to the States. Perhaps a joint degree with a university in another region? I've found a few programs, just not sure how their reputation would hold up.

    Thanks!

    ABAC (Assumption University) does a Master in Education. Graduate School of Education
    I did it.

    Listen carefully.

    Do your education at home.

    Thanks for the advice. That's what I've been hearing so far- except from Thai friends, of course.
    I'm thinking about doing some online coursework with a uni in the US. It would be nice if Thailand had a reputable school. Alas.

    We have a holy war against the Constitution of this country being fought by the American left. The Islamic jihadists say, "Death to America! Death to America!" What the liberal jihadists are saying is, "Death to the Constitution." If they have to blow themselves up like the Islamic jihadists do, each liberal gets 72 interns in paradise. That's the promise.

    Well, I would highly recommend doing any post-graduate education in Farang-land. Let's just say that.

    Doing it here can be ok, it can also be very, very not ok. It's a lot more consistent in Farang-land. Also, in Farang-land, education courses have a beginning, a middle and an end.

    Re: Master's degree in Thailand?

    C'mon you guys, spill da beans...I'm genuinely interested.

    I know quite a few farangs who have attended some of the unis here, doing various degree courses and the general consensus is, they're not much more than degree mills.

    I had one friend who went to one of the more famous Unis and never went to one lecture, just did the tests and assignments. Three years later, a proud holder of a Bachelor's in leisure and tourism.
