Cappadocia Campuses
MUSTAFAPAŞA CAMPUS
Cappadocia University attaches utmost importance to the efficient use of local resources, and directs its own resources to protect the historical and cultural texture and the environment. The historical buildings of our University that have been taken over by allocation, grant or lease have been restored and refunctioned for teaching. The Cappadocia Vocational College was established in Mustafapaşa with an open campus system.
The Mustafapaşa campus of Cappadocia University has evolved through the use of existing structures in the town, and new building are constructed only when necessary. In line with this objective, Mustafapaşa campus is structured as a “wide and open campus”.
The Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, the Graduate School and some departments of Cappadocia Vocational College are located on the Mustafapaşa campus. The brand-new Cappadocia University building in Mustafapaşa was named after Oktay Sinanoğlu (1935–2015), as a modest symbol of respect, for his promotion of the relationship between “universal science production” and “education based on the mother tongue”. The Oktay Sinanoglu building is now home to the Faculty of Humanities.
