ABOUT INTERNATIONAL DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAMS

A dual diploma program is an undergraduate program in which students spend half of their education at one of the campuses of the State University of New York (SUNY) and the other half at a Turkish university.  The program received the 2007 Heiskell Award for International Exchange Partnerships by the Institute of International Education, one of the world’s leading international education organizations which administers such programs as Fulbright and the Humphrey Fellowships.  Please click here for more information about this prestigious award.

Program Features

Study in two countries:  The dual diploma program offers students a highly unique experience and prepares them for the increasingly globalizing world. Students study in two different countries and upon completion of the degree, receive a diploma from each partner: a distinguished American university and a distinguished Turkish university.

English proficiency:  Students develop excellent language skills as they study in English at a university in Turkey and as they live and study on a campus in the United States.

Bi-cultural experience:  The programs allow students to experience two distinctively different cultures.  Upon completing the degree, students will be well-prepared to work in a multi-cultural environment and  function effectively in an international arena.

High academic quality:  Most importantly, the programs are academically rigorous, as students must meet the academic requirements of both Faculty of Business of Dokuz Eylül University and University at Albany, SUNY to complete the degree and to receive both diplomas.  All programs are approved and recognized by the Higher Education Council of Turkey (YÖK).  

Pattern of Study

There are various patterns of study.  Students spend the 1^st  and the  2^nd year  at the Faculty of Business of Dokuz Eylül University, and the  3^rd and 4^th year at the University at Albany, SUNY. Upon completion of the 4^th year of the program at SUNY Albany, the students  may be eligible for optional practical training (OPT) for up to 12 months.
