The Department of History at Yalova University was established in 2020 within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Having formed its academic staff in the subfields of Medieval History, Early Modern History, and Modern History, the department began its initial work by defining its mission and objectives. Subsequently, a four-year undergraduate program was designed, with courses offered in Turkish. The Department of History admitted its first students in the 2021-2022 academic year. Currently, the department comprises six divisions: Ancient History, Medieval History, General Turkish History, Early Modern History, Modern History, and the History of the Republic of Turkey.
