AB  - The recent increase in the number of universities in Turkey has speededup the transition of teachers who receive graduate education to the academia.However, this rapid transition brought a variety of problems. The present studyfocused on the experiences regarding the transition from teaching to theacademia from a holistic perspective. The qualitative research method and thephenomenological design were employed in the study. The participants were sevenacademics who passed to the academia from a teaching career. Convenientsampling and snowball sampling were used in the selection of the participants.The research data were gathered through an interview form. An audio-recorder was used not to lose dataduring the interviews. In the analysis of the data, the descriptive analysistechnique was employed. As for the reliability and validity of the study, datatriangulation, external revision, direct quotations and referee evaluation wereput into practice. Three themes were revealed as a result of the data analysis.These themes were the teaching profession and process, graduate educationprocess and the process of becoming an academic. The findings of the study areas follows: The teaching profession was practised willingly and with ahuman-oriented approach. Teaching was seen as a way for serving the societythrough students. Graduate education was regarded as a difficult process, butexpectations overcame the difficulties. Since the participants had to work as ateacher and learn as an undergraduate student at the same time could bechallenging both financially and psychologically. Academicianship was perceivedas a place for critical and scientific thinking. The transition to the academiawas followed by the efforts to adapt to the new institutional and physicalenvironment. Based on the study, it can be suggested that the teachingprofession should be made more development-oriented through graduate education,and legal regulations should be made to ease the bureaucratic difficultiesteachers experience while receiving graduate education.
