Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences

 
The Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences was firstly established on 21 January 1975 with the name of Muğla School of Business Administration under the administration of Ankara Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences. Since 1982, the faculty has continued its activities as Muğla School of Business Administration under the administration of Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. In 1992, after the establishment of the University of Muğla, the School was converted into a Faculty by changing its name and association.
 
In our faculty, which provides education at the undergraduate level, there was only the Department of Business Administration in the 1992-1993 academic year while the Department of Economics and the evening education of mentioned departments were introduced in the 1993-1994 academic year. The Department of Public Administration opened in the 1995-1996 academic year. Since the evening education was abolished as of the 1999-2000 academic year, no students enrolled in the first grade.
