Our History

The School of Business and Communication Arts (BCA), formerly the School of Management and Information Sciences (MIS), was established as the twelfth academic unit of the University of Phayao.

The School traces its origins to a Cabinet resolution of 20 June 1995, which extended educational opportunities from Naresuan University to Phayao Province. It began as part of the School of Liberal Arts at Naresuan University Phayao Information Technology Campus. On 28 March 2004, under Campus Order No. 040/2546, it was separated to form the Management and Information Sciences Group, and on 1 October 2004 it was renamed the School of Management and Information Sciences.

The campus was renamed Naresuan University Phayao on 21 July 2007 and was elevated to the status of an autonomous university, the University of Phayao, on 17 July 2010. The School attained faculty status on 1 October 2010. Following a resolution of the University of Phayao Council at its meeting No. 6/2563, the School adopted its present name, the School of Business and Communication Arts, on 20 September 2020.
