    Moreover, the Faculty of Education, the flagship of MSU voted as Thailand's Best Education Faculty by the National Education Office. MSU set up American Corner and a new ASEAN Studies Center in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Besides, MSU has the first natural medicinal mushroom museum in Thailand and Asia called Natural Medicinal Mushroom Museum, established to be the learning center for expanding and disseminating the knowledge on natural medicinal mushrooms.

    MSU is well recognized and highly regarded for the excellence of its teaching and research, its beautiful and modern campuses, its commitment to the community, and the quality of its graduates. MSU has been awarded five stars for teaching, facilities, and engagement in the QS Stars Rating. This makes it evident that MSU has cutting-edge facilities and internationally renowned teaching faculty, and regional and community engagement.

MSU also attempts to promote accessibility to their online publications and has been ranked in the Webometrics Ranking. MSU will continue with its plan for academic enrichment and is committed to maintaining close ties with our partners and nearby communities through our "Community of Scholars."

    Every year, there are several caliber researchers and visiting professors from both government and non-government sections across the world visiting MSU to conduct joint research projects in such fields that are rarely found somewhere else or different from other parts of the world, for instance, at Paleontological Research and Education Center, Walai Rukhavej Botanical Research Institute, Northeastern Leaf-inscription Conservation Center and Natural Medicinal Mushroom Museum.

    As a higher education institution in the 21st century, MSU realizes that we can no longer draw the line at the conventional missions of teaching and research and embrace the mission to transfer knowledge to communities. MSU strongly believes that by widening participation in communities, the University can help create and add values and enhance the capabilities of a wide range of people, including world-class researchers, local researchers, MSU staff, and MSU students communities, and local people. Therefore, MSU's strong performance across the academic and engagement leads the University to be a professional in the education world, believing that a world-class university should be able to produce and publish research at the international level and help develop and improve grassroots in society.

    Furthermore, as a research-oriented learning institution, researchers at MSU are involved in studies of global significance. They emphasize interdisciplinary approaches drawing from the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. MSU fully supports its research community to advance learning through the creative interaction of teaching and research of the highest quality. In particular, MSU works with local, regional, national, and international community members to promote and steward excellence in research (peer-reviewed, high caliber, with national and international recognition). Particular emphasis is on interdisciplinary research with cooperation between several departments, programs, disciplines, centers, and institutes and students' involvement (both graduate and undergraduate) in research work and projects.

    Now and in the future, MSU strives to continue its support of essential, exciting, and responsible research while also seeking to ensure that our faculties respect fundamental research principles while striving to open a new scientific era with groundbreaking research.

    MSU owns the nation's patents from distinguished and quality research and a growing number of patents in cutting-edge fields such as nanotechnology, biotech, engineering, and silk innovation. Thus, it is believed that MSU could work on improving research quality and output, which will soon make MSU be one of the leading research universities in the country and region.

    With its motto "Public Devotion is a Virtue of the Learned," MSU is committed to providing its prospective students and potential partners with high-quality programs, the knowledge gained from which will facilitate strong relationships between communities and educated individuals. Having realized the advantages of being locally situated, MSU will strive for its international recognition to boost the local people's wisdom and, significantly, its students and staff's caliber as qualified researchers.
