The General Education for undergraduates at the University is both a requirement and a philosophy. Since the 2010 school year, the design of General Education courses is then divided into three areas, which are Compulsory Curriculum, Core Curriculum, and Liberal Curriculum. Undergraduates must devote courses in the above three areas of the program.
The details of three programs are then shown as follows.
Compulsory Curriculum
• Physical Education, English Conversion and Reading, and Chinese.
Core Curriculum
• Core: Logic and Arguments, and Central Problems in Philosophy.
• Esthetic: Introduction to Art, Introduction to Chinese Art History, Introduction to Western Art History, and Art History of Taiwan.
• Citizenship: Law and Life, and Service Learning.
• Culture: Explore Taiwan, Introduction of World Civilization History, and Globalization and Multi-Culture.
• Science: selected Classics in Scientific Literature, Technology and Society, and Introduction to Science History.
• Ethics: Environmental Ethics, Business Ethics, Legal Ethics, Career Ethics, and Technology Ethics.

The philosophy of the program rests on the belief that every graduate should be broadly educated as well as trained in a particular academic specialty. To achieve this goal, students need some guidance,which the faculty
has an obligation to provide.
Due to the recent development of techniques, the cross-domain learning becomes an important issue. Based on this idea, we design six integrated programs to efficiently integrate the department resourceswith General Education Center for further macro-human courses.
