The Center for General Education and Core Curriculum (CGECC) was established in 1995 for the purpose of reforming Tamkang University’s General Education Program. This reform was based on the belief that students must be equipped not only with specialized knowledge, but also with the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing society. Through its well-rounded approach to education, the center instills in student’s self-responsibility and a conscientious attitude toward the broader community and the global environment.
Currently, more than 400 faculty members from the center or related departments teach courses in the CGECC’s General Education Program. The center functions as an independent department and is responsible for course design, teaching support, and other tasks. The faculty members hired by the center are divided into three major fields: social analysis, philosophy and religion, and arts appreciation and creation. The center also caters to students’ needs by offering elective courses.
