According to NTU Affairs Meeting in 1992, the Planning Croup of General Education was formed to plan the courses for general and liberal education while the Curriculum Planning Commission was established in 1994. Afterwards, the functional mission-grouping the General Education Commission was founded in the following year, and was reformed as the General Education Center. General Education Curriculum Planning Commission, which belongs to General Education Center, was still in charge of planning courses for general education. In April 1996, the Commission for General Education (CGE) was established to promote and administer general and liberal education and other related matters.
