We Opened Our Education and Culture Center in the USA!

We have established our own education and culture center on the campus of Kent State University in the USA, with which we have cooperated since our founding.

Our university, which in the 10 years since its founding has believed in the importance of internationalization in every step it has taken toward higher-quality education, has achieved another very important breakthrough in this field. Established on the Kent State University campus with an investment of 2.7 million dollars, our new campus has been equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure to meet the needs of our students. The 20 students of our university currently studying at Kent State University under previous agreements and the 50 new students who will go there will study in the 2,400-square-meter Van Campen Hall.

Regarding this investment, Kent State President Dr. Lester A. Lefton says: "Kent State has a long history of offering international programs, but creating a truly global community requires great efforts to internationalize academic education," adding: "The Turkish Center established on our campus and the partnership we have had with Bahçeşehir University since 1999 are among the most important of these efforts."

Bahçeşehir University students studying at Kent State in the state of Ohio will now take their classes in these new buildings belonging to their own university. With facilities such as accommodation and cultural activities in addition to education, this new campus will become a special center for our students. Thanks to the new campus, our students will feel at home abroad while having the opportunity to get to know a different culture, a different language and a different approach to education.

This new campus, an important investment not only for our university but also for Turkish education, forms an important foundation for the investments our university will make in the future. In addition to providing students with practical, experiential English education, the Center will also offer exceptional research and outreach services for companies wishing to do business in Türkiye.

In her speech about the Center, our President Prof. Dr. Deniz Ülke Arıboğan said: "As people who have dedicated their lives to education, we should think of 'peace' as a learnable skill, like reading, writing or mathematics. This new investment by Kent State University and Bahçeşehir University will be a very important step in establishing harmony, mutual understanding and peaceful relations between the young generations of the two countries."
