Dean’s Message

Dear Youth,

Our Faculty, established in 1974 under the name of “School of Finance and Accounting” and took the names of “Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences” in 1982 and ”Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences ” in 1987 respectively, is the most long-established academic unit of Afyon Kocatepe University with more than 40 years of academic experience.

Universities are institutions that produce, teach and serve the community with a view to taking local, national and international developments and objectives into account. The developments in globalization and information technologies have increased the importance of knowledge and science. Countries and societies that can manage and produce knowledge will gain competitive advantage and become leading countries and societies in terms of economic development and level of welfare. In this regard, our country needs competent and qualified young people who are able to use and produce knowledge. With the richest teaching staff member of the region, Afyon Kocatepe University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences has been carrying out educational and scientific studies in six departments including Finance, Business Administration (also in English), Economics, International Trade and Finance, Political Science and Public Administration on the purpose of educating competent and qualified students who adopt the values of our country, who follow the new developments in the world, and who know how to reach and use knowledge to make our country one of the leading ones in the world. The opportunity to receive education in both double major and minor programs in six different departments allows students to have multiple degrees.
