The doctoral program in Educational Administration received its first students in the spring semester of 2022-2023, and the program was activated by the institute in the semester of 2023-2024. The main goal of the doctoral program is to specialize in the fields of educational administration and supervision, educational policy development and school management. Within this framework, the program aims to train future researchers working in private or public institutions. The doctoral program in Educational Administration aims to develop students' knowledge, skills and understanding of the field of educational administration, to educate them as individuals with the competencies of understanding, interpretation and application of theories, models and research methods in their field of study in this process. Therefore, the Doctoral program in Educational Administration and Supervision expects students to follow the current developments in the field of educational administration and supervision, to be able to reconstruct these developments in the light of theoretical knowledge and to develop practical recommendations to improve the capacity of schools at the national and international levels. In addition, students are expected to be able to redefine educational problems, to be able to do original research with original research methods to elucidate problems, to produce information to develop and implement policies at the system and organizational level. Rather than providing ready-made information, the doctoral program aims to help students acquire the skills necessary to produce the knowledge they may need in advanced theory and application explanations in business environments. Students who have graduated from the master's degree with a thesis in educational management are accepted to the program. As a prerequisite, they must obtain at least 65 points from the Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam (ALES) and at least 55 points from the Higher Education Institutions Foreign Language Exam (YÖKDIL) or Foreign Language Exam (YDS). The language of the program is Turkish. In addition, according to the regulation of the Faculty of Postgraduate Education, all graduate students who registered after January 2022 have 1 SCI / SCI-E / SSCI / AHCI and/or 2 international indexed / 2 fields produced jointly with the advisor from the thesis indexed / 2 TR Index / national/international peer-reviewed articles; and/or 2 national/internationally published book chapters, and/or 1 book and/or 2 international full-text printed congress/ conference/symposium papers must have been published or received a certificate of acceptance for publication.
