Neoliberal Policies and Higher Education: A Comparison Between Sociology and Psychology Departments in Turkey

Abstract

Today, neo-liberal policies are changing the higher education arena. Students and the corporations, that are their future employers, expect universities to operate and supply knowledge which can only be market-relevant. The transformation of Turkey’s higher education system is parallel to the stated global transformation of higher education systems through neoliberal policies. When we look at Turkish higher education, we see that even though sociology and psychology disciplines are both branches of social sciences, in comparison to public universities, following market demand, establishing a psychology department is preferred to establishing a sociology department by private universities.
