Our research findings were gathered through the Guidelines for Transition to Higher Education Institution between 1999-2019 and the Higher Education Information System. Descriptive analysis method was applied to the obtained data. As a result of the analysis; There are 75 sport management departmen in Turkey. 62 of these departments are state-owned and 13 are within foundation universities. 76% of the sports management departments receive special ability and 24% recruit students through the central placement system. When we look at the ratio of the quotas of the sports management department to the academic staff working in the sports management departments; It is seen that Gazi, Akdeniz, Istanbul Cerrahpaşa and Marmara University are in the top 4 in terms of the number of students per academic staff. As a result; Sports management departments and quotas have increased from year to year in quantity. In order to achieve this increase in terms of quality, it was determined that the number of students per faculty member, which is one of the important criteria, is above the country average. It can be said that the quotas between the regions are not homogenously distributed, since foundation universities are located only in the Marmara and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus regions, almost half of the total quota is located in the Black Sea and Marmara regions.
