Business Management Associate Degree Program

Welcome & Overview

The Business Management Program commenced its educational activities in the 1981–1982 academic year under the General Directorate of Non-Formal Higher Education of the Ministry of National Education. On July 22, 1982, the program was integrated into the university system via Decree-Law No. 41, continuing its operations under Kayseri Erciyes University. Following a period under Gazi University starting in 1991, the program was transferred to the Vocational School of Bozok University upon its establishment by Law No. 4567 on March 1, 2006, where it actively continues its academic activities today. While evening education (İ.Ö.) was introduced in 1992, admissions for this track were concluded after 2016.
