Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration of Chulalongkorn University

Sasin School of Management (also known as Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration of Chulalongkorn University) is an AACSB and EQUIS accredited business school founded in 1982 through a collaboration among Chulalongkorn University and the Kellogg School of Management and the Wharton Business School. Sasin became the first school in Thailand to receive AACSB accreditation in 2010 and the first to receive EQUIS EFMD accreditation in 2011. Sasin became Thailand’s first and only business school to receive accreditation from the two world-wide accrediting organisations – Equis based in Europe and AACSB based in the US. Only 23 institutions in Asia, and just six in Asean, achieved this double honour.[1]

Meaning of name

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej bestowed the name on the Graduate Institute of Business Administration on his 60th birthday, 5 December 1987. The name comes from two Sanskrit words: "sasa" and "indra". Sasa, meaning "rabbit" represents the king's birth year in the Thai 12-year astrological cycle. Indra means "chief." Thus "Sasin" literally means "king of the rabbits."[2]
