Location of Koc University
The Koç University MBA program was started in 1993 to provide a comprehensive business education involving a rigorous and innovative curriculum taught by world class faculty. It is designed to possess the best features of MBA programs offered at major universities in North America and Europe and adapted to the Turkish environment. The language of instruction is English.
The primary objective of the Koç MBA program is to develop business leaders for the 21st century. Graduates of the program are prepared for a career in general management, or in a specialized field such as investment banking, marketing management or supply chain management. Since the most entry-level managerial positions are in such fields as marketing, finance or operations management, the program offers the opportunity to concentrate on one or two of these areas of business.

Structure of the Program
The new structure of the MBA comprises two condensed summer terms, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the program, and two regular terms. The program enables MBA students to finish their studies in a year unless they choose to participate in the international exchange program. In the case of going to a partner institution as an exchange student, the program is one semester longer.
The MBA program consists of 54 credits and a total of approximately 612 contact hours. Total number of courses is 18, consisting of 13 core and 5 elective courses. The program has four parts, with two condensed and two regular semesters. Each of these semesters have been designed to capture the four fundamental components of the new program; namely, Introduction, Foundation, Growth and Launch.
