Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Üniversitesi Department of Computer Technologies

The Computer Programming Program within the Department of Computer Technologies began accepting students in the 2006-2007 academic year and graduated its first students in the 2007-2008 academic year.

Although evening classes were offered between 2009 and 2013, currently only full-time instruction is provided.

Curriculum updates are made as needed, taking into account the opinions of internal and external stakeholders, to reflect evolving technologies and innovations.

In June 2025, after consulting with internal and external stakeholders, the mission and vision of the Computer Programming Program were renewed, educational objectives were updated, program outcomes were revised to encompass the necessary outcomes, and additional courses were added.

Protocols were prepared and signed for the "On-the-Job Application" and "Business World in Our School" projects to enable students to gain industry experience.
