ABOUT FACULTY

Being the first higher education institution in Manisa, The Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences was initially established as a vocational school affiliated to Ege University in 1975. Then the duration of study was extended to four years under the title “Manisa School of Public Finance and Accounting.” In 1987, the school joined to 9 Eylül University as a faculty. When Celal Bayar University was chartered in Manisa through Act No.3837 of the Turkish Parliament on July 11, 1992, The Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences became the first and founder faculty of the new university. For the year 2002, student enrollment is 3445 in regular(daytime) and secondary(nighttime) programs together.
