Department of Business Administration

Program Objective

The objective of the program is to provide individuals who have completed their undergraduate studies in a field other than Business Administration with contemporary business knowledge and managerial skills, preparing them to assume effective roles and responsibilities in the management of organizations that influence society and business life.

The mission of the Master's Program in Business Administration is to educate qualified individuals who have a high level of knowledge, cultural and social competence, critical thinking skills, and the ability to integrate theory and practice, meeting the needs of both private and public sectors at the global and local levels; to produce critical knowledge in light of universal values; and to create an environment that supports students in developing their talents and skills through contemporary education and teaching techniques.

Distance Education, on the other hand, is a modern and flexible education system in which students and instructors do not need to be physically present in the same location. It takes place on the internet, allowing for education, research, and discussions to occur independently of place and time. In this regard, the Graduate School of Education at Istanbul Rumeli University offers a 100% Online Non-Thesis Master's Program in Business Administration.
