Generally speaking, private universities like CCU depend on tuition and fees from students for their income, but even when they have their full complement of students, at most they can break even, so they have to find outside sources of income in order to make a profit. Of these, "continuing education" has become a formula for turning lead into gold, and in this regard CCU has been a huge success.
一般來說，私立大學的收入以學雜費為主，但即使學生人數足夠的大學，也頂多只能維持收支平衡，要有盈餘，就需另闢蹊徑，其中開辦推廣教育就是「點石成金」的良方。
