简介：本中心於八十四年八月成立，主要任務為融合本校「國際化、資訊化、未來化」的三化教育理念，並落實「三環五育」之全人教育辦學目標，透過通識教育課程與教學之改革、整合與創新，培育21世紀大學生應具備的基本能力，以及具淡江人特有氣質的優秀人才，以確保高等教育的品質。

The Center was established in 1995 to undertake a comprehensive reform of the University's general education. The core curriculum was reformed on the belief that students must be equipped with not only specialized knowledge but also great adaptability to the rapidly changing society, especially with future career planning. Moreover, a whole person education approach emphasizes students' strong sense of responsibility for themselves, for the society and sustainability of the global environment.
