History of the Cukurova University

The Faculty of Agriculture, founded in 1967 by Ankara University, and the Faculty of Medicine, founded in 1972 by Atatürk University, were combined to form Cukurova University in I973. The number of the faculties rose to five when the faculties of Basic Sciences, Administrative Sciences and Engineering were founded. In 1982, the Faculty of Basic Sciences was reorganized as the Faculty of Sciences and Letters, and the Faculty of Administrative Sciences was combined with the Department of Economics and Administrative Sciences forming the Faculty of Administrative Sciences and Economics. The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture emerged from the combination of the Faculty of Engineering and the Engineering Department of the Adana Academy of Administrative and Commercial Sciences. Also, the Faculty of Education was established when the two-year Foreign Language Colleges of the Ministry of Education in Adana, Mersin and Hatay were combined.
By 1992, the university helped to lay the foundation of 3 new universities in Turkey. Two colleges, complete with modern buildings, laboratories and educational equipment were turned over to Mersin University, and 3 colleges were turned over to Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, and the Research and Application Center in Kahramanmaras was taken over by Sutcu Imam University.

Despite this relative downsizing in 1992, it is observed that the university had grown even stronger by 1993 when the 20th anniversary of the University was celebrated. The number of the faculties rose to 10 when the faculties of Fisheries, Theology, Dentistry and Fine Arts were established.
Adana Vocational College of Health and Kozan Vocational College were opened to education. With the addition of 3 post-graduate institutions and The State Conservatory of Çukurova University, the number of academic bodies increased to 23. The Karatas College of Tourism and Hotel Management was set up in 1994, while the Karaisali Vocational College was set up in 1995. The Department of Physical Education was reorganized as the College of Physical Education and Sports, and in 1996, the Vocational College of Health Services was reorganized as the College of Health Sciences.
