The newly implemented “Futures Studies” curriculum has already picked up 30 students to enroll in the study program. Instructions will start tonight (November 26) at 7:00 P.M. The first class will be taught by Prof. Chen Kuo-hua, Director, Center for Futures Studies.

According to Dr. Chen, except for the “Theory Approach”, a 3-credit course, the remaining courses are invariably 2-credit ones. A student needs to complete 18 credits before receiving a certificate acknowledging his/her competency in the subject

Since half of the semester time has already been exhausted, part of the program will be conducted in an intensive way. The first course offered by Dr. Chen Kuo-hua is called “Multi Cultures vs. the Global Community”. The other courses will consist of lectures taught by invited distinguished guest speakers. Every evening from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M., Monday through Thursday will be the designated study time.

As of next semester, interesting courses arranged on the agenda include “Career Planning & Creative Thinking” taught by Prof. Chen Juei-kwei; “Technology and Permanent Development” taught by Prof. Chou Kwei-tien: “Theories Pertaining to Futures Studies” taught by Prof. Chen Kuo-hua.
