In 1982, after the re-structuring of higher education institutions in Turkey, the Faculty of Education had only one department with two programs- German and English Language Teaching. Today, the number of departments has increased to six: Educational Technology and Computing, Educational Sciences, Fine Arts Education, Foreign Language Education, Primary Education, Special Education.

The aim of the faculty is to train teachers with both academic and pedagogical knowledge that would enable them to perform in a constantly changing world and thus have their students be prepared for present and future endavours.
