Double Major and Minor applications can be made by only students of the Faculty of Tourism, Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts to the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics of our Faculty.

What is a Double Major?

It is a program that allows students who meet the success requirement and other conditions to take courses from two diploma programs of the same associate degree/undergraduate diploma programs simultaneously and receive two separate diplomas. A diploma is awarded upon graduation.

What is a Minor?

It is a program that allows students enrolled in a diploma program to take a limited number of courses on a specific subject within the scope of another diploma program among our university's undergraduate diploma programs, provided that they meet the prescribed conditions, and receive a document (minor certificate) that does not replace a diploma. Upon graduation, a minor certificate that does not replace a diploma is awarded.
