Through its well-rounded approach to education, the center instills in student\u2019s self-responsibility and a conscientious attitude toward the broader community and the global environment.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, more than 400 faculty members from the center or related departments teach courses in the CGECC\u2019s 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\u2019 needs by offering elective courses.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"background-color: #e74c3c;\">Mission<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The center was established in the hope of developing curriculum programs to fulfill the ideal of general education.
