Within this scope, data was obtained from 370 gifted students using stratified purposive sampling method with electronic forms created in two parts via Microsoft Forms. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 22 packet data analysis program. Descriptive statistics and difference tests were utilized in the analysis of the data. As a result of the study, it was found that gifted and talented students are most interested in courses of chemistry, informatics and mathematics while courses of history, literature and philosophy were the least favored. Other findings of the study are significant differences in course interest of gifted children obtained according to the variables of gender, duration of education in SAC, type of identification area in SAC and type of program in SAC.
