The rest credits are for optional courses depending on your own interests; the students are also allowed to get the credits of optional courses from the other departments’ or universities’ by following the regulation of National Chiayi University. Moreover, besides the above requirements, students have to complete the theses which counted as 6 credits. Hence, the total credit requirements of graduation are 30 credits.

2.	The opening of the courses of each term would be a little different because of the regulation of the school and the demanding of students. 
3.	Students who are not graduated from education-related departments are required to take at least two courses on education foundational theories, such as “Educational Psychology,” “Sociology of Education,” “Introduction to Education,” or “Philosophy of Education.”
