Thanks to a collaboration with the University of Redlands, one of the world's leading higher education institutions in the field of Geographic Information Systems, students will have the opportunity to complete part of their education in Türkiye and part in the USA, obtaining a dual degree that is both approved by the Turkish Higher Education Council (YÖK) and internationally recognized. The program will offer students not only academic achievements but also international career opportunities. Furthermore, students will benefit from a significant cost advantage compared to enrolling directly through the University of Redlands.
Access to the World's Leading GIS Ecosystem
Combining the academic expertise of the University of Redlands, founded in 1907, with the practical experience of ESRI, a global leader in Geographic Information Systems technologies, the program offers students a robust educational model that integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application.
Open to graduates from many different disciplines, including civil engineering, surveying, environmental engineering, geology, urban and regional planning, computer and software engineering, the program aims to train experts for future fields such as smart cities, remote sensing, data science, drone technologies, disaster management, and sustainability.
“International collaborations offer our students global opportunities.”
Our Rector, Prof. Dr. Ersoy Kocabıçak, stated that international academic collaborations are one of the most important factors in enhancing quality in higher education, saying, “Today, higher education generates value through strong academic collaborations that transcend borders. The dual degree program we have implemented with the University of Redlands offers our students the opportunity to experience two different academic cultures and graduate with an internationally recognized diploma, while also equipping them with competencies that will enable them to compete on a global scale.”
Prof. Dr. Ersoy Kocabıçak emphasized that Atlas University's internationalization strategy encompasses not only student mobility but also joint educational programs, scientific research, and academic output, stating, "Thanks to the strategic collaborations we have established with prestigious universities around the world, we offer our students and academics new educational, research, and career opportunities. By increasing our international partnerships, we will continue to contribute to the scientific development of our country and educate our students with the qualities needed by the global world."
With this strategic collaboration in the field of Geographic Information Systems, Atlas University continues to strengthen its international education network while offering its students new opportunities that will provide them with a competitive advantage on a global scale.
