Chairman of the Board, Prof. İ. Doğramacı stated that
while the Board of Trustees make tuition decisions during the spring
term, it can now be said that for current students, the tuition is
anticipated to remain the same for the 2002-2003 academic year.
Prof. Doğramacı announced that among the decisions taken
today were the establishment of a new Masters program in
International Affairs and Public Policy. The program will be chaired
by Professor Ali Karaosmanoğlu, and its Public Policy and European
Union division will be led by Prof. Orhan Güvenen. The creation of
this program means that Bilkent will be hiring several new faculty
members. Prof. İhsan Doğramacı also stated that the university would
be actively working towards the establishment of an Executive MBA
program by September 2002, and an undergraduate program in
Psychology by September 2003. The Board also approved a 100 %
increase in the number of incoming scholarship students to the
Graduate School of Education, to support a teacher training program
for elementary schools.
As a result of the new programs, the number of teaching staff
at Bilkent in September 2002, is projected to be greater than in
previous years.
