About Chinese Culture University
Chinese Culture University (CCU) founded in 1962. The
founder of CCU, Dr. Chang Chi-Yun, laid out the founding
ideology of CCU, which is to integrate the merits of the
East and the West, while remaining up to date. Moreover,
Dr. Chang set the following guiding spirits of the University:
“temperament, simplicity, strength and tenacity”, which is
meant to intimate the significance of educational and social
awareness in the life of the university student.
In its five decades as an institution of higher learning, the
University has experienced vigorous growth and has played
an academic leading role, culturally and professionally,
in the forefront among Taiwan universities. As of 2010,
the university boasts 12 colleges with 59 undergraduate
programs, 41 master and 11 doctoral degree programs. The
School of Continuing Education numbers 10 undergraduate
and 11 graduate programs. These totals outnumber those
in all the universities in Taiwan. Some of these departments
have become the main sources of specialized manpower to
the society. For instance, Department of Great Atmosphere
Science regularly supplies over 70% of related professionals
to governmental institutes. Additionally, Departments of
HISTORY
07
Urban Administration, Labor, Information Communication,
Tourism and Mainland China Studies supply a considerable
percentage of manpower to related agencies as well.
As an academic policy, inter-departmental curricular
collaboration design is emphasized. For example, “Culture
and Creativity program “provides a variety of cross
disciplines courses from the different fields among liberal
arts, design, information, communication, advertising and
marketing. On the other hand, Chinese Culture programs
such as Chinese Opera, Chinese Music, Dance and Martial
Arts continue to win nationwide fame, supported by a group
of prestigious faculty members known as “Master” in their
fields of expertise in Taiwan. In accordance with the trend
for globalization, the establishment of future new programs
will continue to meet social demands for cross disciplines
professionals.
MASTER PROGRAMS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTSCCU has established a number of innovative and special departments that have met just in almost all disciplines.
With such an advantage, in 2011, the university will launch 8 master degree programs to offer courses completely
taught in English available for international students worldwide. The programs include disciplines in Business,
Journalism, Agricultural Biotechnology, Architecture and Urban Design, Digital Mechatronic Technology,
English and American Literatures, Earth Sciences, and Sport Coaching Science. The majority of faculties in these
programs hold an advanced degree from aboard. Therefore, they are capable of communicating with, and
providing guidance for international students.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Graduate Institute of English Language and Literature was established in October, 1968, originally as the English
Literature Section of the Graduate School of Western Literature. The new name has been in use since the academic year
1998-99. In addition to in-depth studies in the fields of English and American literature, there will also be courses in the
following areas: the relations and interactions between literature and philosophy, literature and society, Chinese literature
and foreign literatures, literature and culture, and the practical uses or applications of literature. All of these areas of
research aim at improving our graduates’ competence in English in various careers, academic and otherwise.
INTRODUCTION
Master’s Program for International Students in ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURES
16
CHINESE CULTURE UNIVERSITY
MISSION STATEMENT To cultivate students’ capacity for literary analysis and interpretation, critical thinking, independent thinking and original
literary research. To develop students’ ability to express themselves clearly in various kinds of writing through the reading, discussion
and analysis of literary works.
To give students a greater understanding of different cultures and a more open, international world-view through the
reading, discussion and analysis of literary works.
Graduates of colleges or universities with bachelor's degrees in English
Students with an equivalent education
Students who have studied in Departments of English or other Foreign languages
Graduates of colleges or universities with bachelor’s degrees who majored in other subjects
Students who have passed the Special Examinations for Diplomatic and Consular Personnel
College/university graduates admitted on the basis of their equivalent education may be required to take the
undergraduate British Literature course, depending on individual cases.
ADMISSION1
2
The major focus will be on English and American literature. However, this will be supplemented by training in the practical
use of English. In the first place this makes sense in terms of our graduates’ most likely future jobs: many of them teach
English in high schools or colleges, some become editors or translators of English-language materials, some become
employees in government institutions by passing the civil service examination. In the second place, insofar as practical
English training includes training in various types of English writing (including journalistic and creative writing), this can
only benefit their research and publications in the fields of English and American literature.
FEATURES
17
The minimum required credits for the M.A. program are 30 in addition to the M.A. thesis. 8 of these credits are for
required courses. Every semester, each graduate student should take courses amounting to a total of 2 to 12 credits.
A TOFEL IBT score of 74 or above, or a passing grade on any equivalent exam, e.g. the Toeic 700,
IELTS 5.5, etc., is also required for the M.A. degree.

This course spans more than two thousand years of Western literary theory and criticism. We will discuss discourses from the past to the present; selections include important texts on mimetic theories as well as pragmatic, expressive and objective theories. Two semesters.
This course will develop students' ability to interpret short literary texts in original and creative ways, based on close readings of the text and a consideration of both critical and theoretical approaches to this same text; the MLA format for academic papers will also be taught; students will write three papers.
Objectives and Course Description: This course aims to: 1.) enhance learners’ overall EFL writing proficiency; 2.) enlarge learners’ vocabulary and phrases and to put them into accurate and apt use in writing; 3.) enrich learners’ knowledge of syntax and their ability in making well-structured sentences; 4.) familiarize learners with the skills and stylistics of writing research papers for literary purpose.
This seminar focuses on the works of modern English poets since 1970. Topics for discussion include post-romanticism, colonialism, feminism, post-modernism, language strategy, ecology, etc.
The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the historical (16th-18th century) background, basic philosophical issues and narrative strategies of postmodern fiction or metafiction.
All English Majors should have some basic knowledge about Classical Dramas at the beginning of Western civilization. Classical Dramas are important because their assumptions about human dignity and conscience influenced later writings on the human spirit, especially the high tragedies of the Renaissance.

The Joyce canon has gained a secure position in modern literature. This course is designed to clarify aspects of Joyce’s writings on different levels, including the basic issues of James Joyce and major theoretical issues concerning the works, with a focus on recent developments in Irish cultural and historical studies.
This course takes students through the issue of language transfer and beyond. We will guide students through readings of key texts in translation studies and encourage them to consider the impact of political, economic, literary, ideological factors on translation strategies and the end products of translation.
This course examines a selection of contemporary American fiction in historic, aesthetic, and social contexts. Reading materials cover both literary texts and critical essays which are to be discussed alternately. The instructor will explore the relationship between contemporary American literature and the world Americans live in.
This course consists of two parts, part one includes lectures on the theories and practices of comparative literature, areas of investigation by French School, American School and Chinese School, and the latest development of comparative literature beyond the frontiers of Europe.
The seminar is concerned with an analysis of the chief works of contemporary American poets since 1970. Topics for discussion include feminism, modernism, language strategy, confessional tradition, ecology perspective, colonialism, post-modernism, etc.
In this course we will discuss, especially with regard to their uniquely American qualities, some Hawthorne stories; Poe’s short fiction, essays and poetry; Whitman’s and Dickinson’s poetry; and Melville’s novella Bartleby.
Critical approaches are vital for understanding all literary works, including drama. By using proper analytic skill, one can understand and appreciate the nuances of a play more profoundly, and also can express oneself more articulately and readily.
This course offers contesting perspectives on the interdisciplinary field of literature and culture, which is treated as the signifying practices of representation. That is, it tries to relate intellectual products and producers to their social conditions of existence, with a view to setting the most diverse things in rigorous perspectives.
This course will examine canonical feminist theories and narratives by American women writers, putting the concepts of gender identity, the Woman’s Question, and women’s movements under scrutiny.

The use of the research method can help architectural students to carry on any of science and social science issues by a logical way.
To create a high quality, comfortable, and sustainable human living setting, planners have addressed sustainability in city and tried to demonstrate how ecological matters can be integral to different settings, through adopting different approaches such as Compact City, T.O.D., Neo-traditional Neighborhood, Urban Indicators, and so on. In fact, “sustainable development” is about the “integrated approach” and “consideration of the trade-off between different aspects,” and the comparison of sustainable achievement degree is meaningless. Therefore, this course aims to understand the concepts of ecological, social, and economic sustainable developments, and to link urban development strategies with urban sustainability.
Landscape ecology studies the interaction between spatial pattern and ecological processes. This course will cover the concepts related to scale and spatial patterns, and discuss the causes and consequences of landscape patterns.

Discussion on the basic issues of architecture and urban development, and how they were been dealing with.
Urban design is an art, and like all design it does have to consider, or at least play lip service to human behavior. Hence this course is full of references to the studies of urban form. This training can provide a wide range of understanding on the architecture and urban design.
To plan, design and manage spaces for sustainability, aesthetically pleasing, and fitting for multiple purposes, the seminar aims to provide a discipline concerned with the conscious shapes of the external environment, and to combine scientific understanding and design creativity, knowledge of manmade materials, and structures for students, through integrating a comprehension of land-use and ecosystems. The materials include planning, design and management of the landscape to create, maintain, protect and enhance external space for a diverse range of human needs and professions.
This course is positioned as a part of “creative industries.” However, since government policy in promotion is based on culture, and with a limited scope of cultural arts and technology, it seems that coverage of Taiwan’s environmental characteristics, uniqueness and possible derivation of international competitiveness is insufficient. Accordingly, this course is intended to complement the “Cultural Creative Industries” courses provided by other related college departments at this stage. Seeking to stimulate students from wider angle, an in-depth understanding of the local environment will be served to explore how different levels of environment-oriented industry can be derived and how these industries can be competitive and innovative to produce economic and employment opportunities.
The urban environment is characterized by its dominance of human habitation and activity. Through the review and discussion of literature, we shall review issues in urban ecology and discuss methods in which urban landscape planning and design may enhance the natural processes within the city’s boundaries and achieve goals of sustainability.
Overview of the historical development of urban and regional planning, as well as prominent theories of urban planning practice. Emphasizing the connection between the theoretical and historical material and current planning practice.

Welcome from the President
As the president of Chinese Culture University(CCU), I am delighted to express a very warm and sincere welcome to each of every international student, who intends to join us at CCU, known as Hwa-Kang family.
Found in 1962, Chinese Culture University has played a leading role in the academic world, culturally and professionally, in the forefront among universities in Taiwan. Studying at CCU will be one of the most important momentums in your life where you learn the professional knowledge and skills to open up your view to the world along with a receptive and enquiring mind. Your ability, self-confidence and life-long learning style will be strengthened to cope with changing situations as well.
I wish all of the newcomers and international students who come from abroad to learn the most of what CCU will to offer and, in return, to care for the environment, cherish our natural resources and all those around us, friends and strangers alike. I hope that the kind of education you receive here at Chinese Culture University during your stay in Taiwan will be such that, when you leave us, you will carry away with you a love of our people and culture. I ensure that you will experience a wonderful journey throughout your learning in CCU. This is my fondest wish.
Finally, I wish you all with a great success in your career development and look forward to meeting with you at Chinese Culture University in the near future.
Wann-Yih Wu, Ph.D.President
