It was a survey research using the grade result (3.00) from the specific courses on Buddhism and the attitude test on Buddhism as research instruments. 41 students enrolled in specific required courses on Buddhism were the target group.

The students’ learning outcomes in all courses was higher than the good assessment criteria (= 3.00) with statically significance at 0.01 which conformed to the hypothesis—the students had good attitude towards Buddhism.
