History
Faculty of Social Sciences, Chiang Mai University is located at the foothill of Doi Suthep, between Suthep and Huay Kaew Road, which is far from Chiang Mai city around 4 kilometers. The cabinet, in 1960, has agreed to the foundation of Chiang Mai University. According to the suggestion of the advisory committee, Faculty of Social Sciences, with only 75 students and 15 lecturers, is one of three faculties which have been established at that time. This faculty was educationally set up as a broad discipline instead of Faculty of Law which could scarcely find qualified personnel in that decade. In the early phase, there were five departments in the faculty including Department of Geography (the first Geography Department in Thailand), Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Department of Economics, Departments of Accountancy and Business Administration, and Department of Political Science. Several departments, however, have been departed from Faculty of Social Sciences as new faculties in last two decades. Faculty of Social Sciences, Chiang Mai University, nowadays, composes of four departments including Geography, Sociology and Anthropology, Women’s Studies, and Social Sciences and Development.
