Professor Erdal Erel
Welcome to the website of Faculty of Business Administration, Bilkent University. Our mission as the Faculty of Business Administration is to be a recognized research and educational institution. We firmly believe that education and research are interconnected processes that complement and develop each other. I am very happy to see our students getting equipped with the necessary tools to compete in today's complex business environments.
Our Faculty is a full-service Business School that runs educational programs at undergraduate and graduate levels. Our faculty and graduate students publish their research in prestigious journals and work hard to distinguish our Business School.
Our Faculty received AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation in April 2006 following a long and detailed investigation process of its physical, research, and educational capabilities. Only 5% of the Business Schools around the world has received this accreditation. AACSB extended maintenance of accreditation for all the programs of our Faculty in April 2011.

We are very proud to observe our undergraduate students as they develop themselves into future leaders of the business world during their four-year education. Only the most successful students are placed into our scholarship program via the University Entrance Examination. Our MBA program with a history of 25 years and about 900 graduates is among the most prestigious MBA programs in our region.
Our students have the option of spending a semester abroad that allows them to enlarge their visions and get familiarized with different cultures. In each academic year, one-third of our undergraduate and MBA students participates to international exchange Programs.
