Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze various aspects of master's and PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at state universities in Türkiye. Qualitative research methods were employed and document review was used as data collection. The relevant institute websites of the universities and the 2025-2026 graduate fall semester recruitment announcement were used as data sources. The data were analyzed through content analysis. In Türkiye, there are 72 universities actively providing master's programs and 35 universities providing PhD. The universities' ALES, foreign language exam, preparatory class, number of courses, and their names, publication for graduation, and minimum number of courses requirements were examined. As a result, it was determined while 55 for ALES is required for master's programs most, there are 56 universities that don’t require a foreign language exam. While 43 universities don’t offer preparatory courses, 59 universities offer up to eight required courses. While the names of required courses vary, the publication requirements for graduation also vary across universities. For 51 universities, the minimum number of courses for graduation varies between 6 and 14. For PhD, 55 to 75 ALES is required, while foreign language exam are between 55 and 60. Fifteen universities offer preparatory courses, while 27 universities offer 1 to 8 courses. While the names of courses and the publication requirements for graduation vary, the minimum number of courses required ranges from seven to ten. This study aims to provide a holistic perspective on Curriculum and Instruction graduate programs in Türkiye and contribute to the literature.
