The Republic of Türkiye is a modern nation created in 1923 amid the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. It is located at the nexus of Europe, Asia and the Middle East and is a powerful presence in the global economic and political culture. The last 100 years have seen a unique and evolving blend of secular advances and Islamic traditions. Our study trip explores Türkiye's robust higher education system which we explore through visits to seven universities in Istanbul, Ankara and the southern region of Cappadocia as well as the national ministry of higher education. Meeting with policy scholars, university leaders, students and faculty, we will explore issues of curriculum, relationship to labor markets, student socio-economic status and issues of diversity and equity. We will also take time to visit several World Heritage sites.
