To ensure the quality of higher education programs, the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising the educational, instructional, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions. Each year, "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions, prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, are published. Based on these reports, YÖK shares quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions with the public.
Additionally, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, containing academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions. These reports also include quantitative and qualitative evaluations, which are shared with the public by YÖK. The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":
1. Creation and Approval of Academic Programs: 
1.1. YÖK establishes the minimum standards and criteria required to open undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in line with the basic principles set by YÖK. 
1.3. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions upon approval by YÖK after being accepted by the relevant Deans' Council.
2. Assessment and Evaluation: The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes that undergraduate programs aim to provide to students are carried out according to the education, instruction, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, in accordance with the fundamental principles determined by YÖK.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs are awarded a bachelor's degree upon successfully completing the course credits and other obligations determined by the higher education institutions.
4. Self-Assessment and External Assessment: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter their "Internal Evaluation Reports" for the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares its "Institutional Feedback Report," which pertains to the external evaluation of higher education institutions, with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation organizations authorized or recognized by YÖKAK indicate that the qualifications of the programs have met quality assurance standards. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities concerning the qualifications set by its regulations.
