CHINESE CULTURE UNIVERSITY
Master’s Program for International Students in ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURES ABOUT THE PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION 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.
16
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.
FEATURES
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.
ADMISSION
1 Graduates of colleges or universities with bachelor's degrees in English 2 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.

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., Neotraditional 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.
