大學教育強調世界眼光與人類關懷。因此，大學生要總全學習多元知識和普世公民價值，做個具有和諧政治觀、經濟觀、文化觀的公民。其中最重要的是，以文化認同來建立個人的核心價值。客家人是華人漢族之族系，擁有冒險、勤勞、團結及高度重視人文教育的優秀族群。在清朝中期大量進入臺灣中部開墾，迄今一者，在臺中市留下惠來、陳平、鎮平等客家地名；二者，在濁水溪、大肚溪下游有諸多原屬客家之福老客村莊，但是這些客家人口的客家文化及語言，逐漸在消失之中。朝陽科技大學開設「客家歷史與文化」通識課程，是基於讓學生自我認識，以了解客家文化、禮俗、文學、婦女、經濟等特殊議題，進而肯定自己族群文化的人文價值，且將之融入企業管理，甚至投入客家文化產業之開創。這個課程終極目標，係以客家人過去移民各地先驗，為當今人類文化交流，作出示範的作用。
