Background and Rationale
National Cheng Kung University (hereinafter referred to as NCKU) aspires to become a comprehensive university of excellence. With a commitment to academic excellence, NCKU strives to cultivate outstanding individuals across various fields who possess professional expertise, leadership capabilities, ethical values, humanistic literacy, creativity, and a global perspective. In pursuit of its educational goals of enriching cultural depth and fostering the preservation and development of cultural heritage, the University has incorporated several key initiatives into its medium-term institutional development plan, including the holistic development of students, as well as the promotion of humanities, arts, and cultural heritage.
Since its establishment in 1931, NCKU has preserved a rich and diverse collection of cultural assets. The University established the Graduate Institute of Art Studies in 1994, the Art Center in 1999, and the Museum as a first-level administrative unit in 2007. In 2014, as part of its efforts to formulate strategic guidelines for arts education, NCKU conducted interviews with representatives from various academic departments, as well as experts and scholars from both within and outside the University. The consensus was that the comprehensive implementation of arts education would contribute significantly to enhancing students' humanistic literacy and help the University realize its vision of becoming a comprehensive university of excellence.
Against this backdrop, this proposal was developed to establish the Master's Degree Program in Drama, with the aim of addressing the gap in specialized drama education in preparation for the future establishment of a College of Arts. The program emphasizes the integration of NCKU's academic resources with the needs of society, thereby fostering the development of drama education and practice.
The implementation of this program will align with the University's key institutional development priorities and facilitate the advancement of strategic partnerships in arts education. By effectively integrating resources across administrative and academic units, the program will contribute to NCKU's steady and sustainable progress toward becoming a university of excellence in the Asia-Pacific region and a world-leading institution.
