To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education, training, and other activities in higher education institutions.
• The “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” for higher education institutions, prepared in accordance with the criteria determined by YÖK, are published annually. Based on these reports, YÖK shares evaluations—including both quantitative and qualitative assessments—of higher education institutions with the public.
• The “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report,” which includes academic, administrative, and financial data related to foundation universities, is also published annually by YÖK. These reports, which contain quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of associate degree programs in higher education is ensured according to the “Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Curriculum Development and Approval: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of associate degree programs in higher education institutions.
   1.1. The curriculum of associate degree programs and the learning outcomes to be achieved by students in each program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the core principles established by YÖK.
   1.2. The curricula of National Core Education Programs are implemented by higher education institutions following approval by YÖK after being adopted by the relevant Deans Council.
2. Assessment and Evaluation: The assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes expected from each associate degree program are carried out in accordance with the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, in line with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in associate degree programs are awarded an associate degree diploma upon successful completion of the required course credits and other obligations set by the higher education institutions.
4. Self-Assessment and External Evaluation: As part 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,” prepared based on the external evaluation of higher education institutions, with the public.
   Additionally, accreditation decisions made by agencies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK demonstrate that the qualifications of the programs are assured in terms of quality.
   In accordance with YÖKAK regulations, regular review activities are conducted concerning defined qualifications.

It is required to have completed high school or an equivalent education and obtained a diploma, as well as to have achieved a sufficient TYT score in the Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS).

The graduates can work as technical staff in institutions and organizations such as public institutions and municipalities that carry out landscape projects, landscape architecture project and implementation offices, construction companies, nurseries, and greenhouses involved in the production and sale of ornamental plants. Also, by meeting the legal requirements, they can also establish their own implementation and production companies. Additionally, it is possible to transfer to Landscape Architecture or certain Agricultural Engineering bachelor's degree programs under the relevant conditions through the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS).
