to provide education for teachers at an undergraduate level. The college was
directly supervised by the Prasanmit Bangkok Academy, which later in 1984 had

one of the campuses that further enhance faculties and academic courses apart
from an education area. In 1990, Eastern seashore development project was fully
supported by a government policy in producing more skilled personnel within the
area. Thus, the government has uplifted the college status to be an independent
university, which was later known as Burapha University.
