Information about the Program: After the First Industrial Revolution, business administration and business management began to be considered as scientific and technical issues. The subsequent industrial revolutions have been heavily shaped around concepts such as technology, competition, strategy, innovation and globalization; it has led to the growing complexity of business science as well as the disappearance of all boundaries for the business world. Today, business science addresses national and international environments together, and takes into account the many socio-cultural elements of the mentioned concepts.

In this case, individuals who are familiar with the basic logic of business science, who have knowledge about modern and especially post-modern issues, have the competence to go to an effective cooperation with the business world and who have not only national but also international and even global point of view, need to be included in the society. In this process, the use of English which is the dominant language of economic and commercial activities in the world, is now a must.
The main reason for the desire to open the program is to train exactly these individuals who are mentioned above. The program is open to all individuals who have previously been educated in the field of business or in areas other than business; it especially addresses the individuals working in a business or having work experience.
Graduates who successfully complete the program will be able to work not only in local or national enterprises in our country, but also in foreign and global enterprises within our borders. In addition, our graduates will have more opportunities to find jobs in foreign countries. The increase of these opportunities is also a sub-rationale for the opening of the program.

The mission of Business Administration  Master's Programs is to educate individuals who have high level of knowledge, culturally and socially equipped, who can think freely and can combine theory and practice; to produce critical knowledge in the light of universal values; to provide the environment to help students develop their skills and skills through contemporary education and training techniques.
Our Business Administration Master's Degree Programs are open to students who wish to gain a business mission on their undergraduate studies. It is ideal for students who want to advance their career by taking their education to the next level or who want to start their PhD program after the master's degree.
