As Thailand’s first provincial university, CMU was established in accordance with the government’s policy and objectives for providing the various regions of the country with centers for academic and occupational education, creating the transfer of multi-faceted research. The preservation of Lanna culture and Northern values are significant at CMU, and projects and programs are ongoing on a national scale. CMU operates according to the principles of academic freedom, adhering to the truth and virtue for excellence.
