This study discussed, amongst others, the traditions and essences of both western and eastern collegiate education; secondly it also analyzed the practices of collegiate education in Taiwanese colleges and universities, and the findings of which were used as a proposal to MMC for the formation and promotion of a collegiate campus bases on collegiate educational spirit.
