To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education, teaching, and other activities in higher education institutions.

Each year, The Council of Higher Education (CoHE)  publishes "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions, based on criteria set by CoHE. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by CoHE.

CoHE also annually publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report," which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. These reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are shared with the public by CoHE. Quality assurance for undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Development and Approval of Teaching Programs:

   1.1. The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of associate degree departments and programs in higher education institutions.

   1.2. The curricula of associate degree programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes they aim to impart to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by the Council of Higher Education (CoHE).

   1.3. After acceptance by the relevant Deans' Council, the curriculum of the National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with CoHE’s approval.

2. Assessment-Evaluation: The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes that each associate degree program aims to impart to students are carried out in accordance with the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, in line with the fundamental principles established by the Council of Higher Education (CoHE).

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's degree upon successfully completing the required course credits and other obligations as determined by the higher education institutions.

4. Internal Evaluation-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions enter "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Turkish Higher Education Quality Council (THEQC) at the beginning of each year. THEQC shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" it prepares regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation organizations authorized or recognized by THEQC also demonstrate that the programs meet quality assurance standards. THEQC conducts regular review activities related to competencies determined by its regulations.

The program has been accredited by MEDEK (Vocational Education Accreditation Board). 

Accreditation Start/End Dates: 

01.01.2025 - 31.12.2028

1. Students who graduate from vocational associate degree programs can vertically transfer to undergraduate programs as a result of the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) conducted by ÖSYM. Vertical transfer quotas are determined by the decision of YÖK in a way that they do not exceed ten percent of the quota determined in the related undergraduate programs.
2. Vocational associate degree students have the right to participate in double major programs opened by the higher education institutions where they are studying. Students registered in double major programs can take courses from both diploma programs simultaneously and receive two separate associate degree diplomas if they are successful.
