SIT
started offering its first degree program, Master of Science in
ICT (M.Sc. in ICT) in May 2005 with Dr. Santithorn Bunchua as
the program director. Due to the lack of government support for
eLearning in Thailand, the program was offered in traditional
classroom mode with supplemental eLearning material and learning
management system. Following the announcement of the eLearning
criteria by the Ministry of Education in October 2005, the M.Sc.
in ICT program was approved for eLearning mode of delivery in
January 2006 through the University Council of Assumption University.
The school plans to offer more degree programs in the future including
programs at the Bachelor and Doctorate levels. Besides degree program, the school also plans to offer non-degree programs such as various training courses, seminars and workshops in IT. The school has helped organize international conferences such as the Second International Conference on eLearning for Knowledge-Based Society (eLearningAP 2005) and the Fourth International Conference on eBusiness (eBusiness 2005). In addition, the school has established an agreement with Digital Asia School of Animation (DASA) in offering intensive training courses on computer animation. |
