Abstract
In this study; it is aimed to investigate the factors affecting the course choices of the students who took the music culture course. The research was designed as a case study. The data were analyzed in accordance with the qualitative content analysis method. It has been understood that students who made their choices by taking the name of the course into account are not interested in the course content, they see the course as an entertainment and an easy course to pass. Purposes of the course selection match up with the structure of the course for the students who chose the course by taking the course content into consideration. The results are discussed in terms of the aims of including elective courses in higher education programs and the reasons for the weighted preference shown by the students in the selection of these courses. It is recommended that the student advisors at the university guide students in accessing the content of the course, accessing the information about the credit of the course and the course hours, and accessing the information of the lecturer of the course. Within this framework, it is thought that a course selection orientation meeting to be held before the course selection would be beneficial.
