General Education (GE) is
an essential part of the undergraduate curriculum of The Chinese
University of Hong Kong. Its aims are to foster a balanced education
by introducing students to knowledge beyond what they might be expected
to encounter in their major disciplines; to help students develop
the potentiality for integrating different fi elds of knowledge
as needed; and to nurture their own judgment and sense of values.
The GE Programme in CUHK is
composed of University GE and College GE, both are complementary
and equally indispensable. University GE, offering over two hundred
wide-ranging courses for students to choose based on their interests,
stresses intellectual and academic pursuits. College GE provides
student-oriented life education. The four Colleges, inspired by
their respective traditions and spirit, provide rich array of College
GE curricula, College life and activities, and cultivate the students'
minds and hearts.
