NIDA has 10 graduate schools aimed to serve economics and social development. One of the founding schools, NIDA Business School, was the first graduate school in Thailand to offer an MBA program. NIDA Business School received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). [4]

History of the institute

NIDA was founded on 1 April 1966 with initial assistance from the Department of Technical and Economic Cooperation, the Ford Foundation, and the Midwest Universities Consortium for International Activities (MUCIA).[1]

At the beginning, NIDA was an autonomous institute affiliated with Thammasat University which ran its own activities and managed its own budget. Later, a merger of the School of Public Administration of Thammasat University and resources from the National Economic and Social Development Board and National Statistical Office combined to become a full-fledged university concentrating exclusively on graduate studies in fields related to national development.

NIDA, in conjunction with Chulalongkorn University and Thammasat University, offer a joint doctoral program in business administration (JDBA) with funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) through the Association of Deans of South East Asian Graduate Schools of Management (ADSGM).[5]
