To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

YÖK (the Council of Higher Education) is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education, teaching, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions. Each year, "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" are published, which are prepared based on the criteria set by YÖK. These reports contain quantitative and qualitative assessments of higher education institutions and are shared with the public by YÖK.

Every year, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report," which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. This report contains quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions and is shared with the public by YÖK. The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Formation and Approval of Curriculum: 1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria necessary for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

   1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes to be achieved by students in each program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles set by YÖK.

   1.3. After the curriculum of the National Core Curriculum is accepted by the relevant Deans' Council, it is implemented by higher education institutions with YÖK's approval.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The methods of measuring and evaluating the learning outcomes to be achieved by each undergraduate program are conducted according to the educational and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in line with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a diploma upon successfully completing the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.

4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation: Higher education institutions enter their "Institutional Self-Evaluation Reports" for the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year for continuous monitoring. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" related to the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accredited organizations recognized by YÖKAK indicate that the qualifications of programs are assured in terms of quality. Regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined by YÖKAK legislation are also conducted.
