Nevşehir University Arts& Science Faculty Department of Sociology was established in 2007. It is the first Sociology Department among the universities which were built after 2003. Sociology’s importance and function does not come from the only being the basic science. Because of realities such as globalism and terror that change world’s face, sociology became more crucial. This significance made the department the first about recruiting teachers. It has a special status both in university and faculty. In the years, 2009-2010 no undergraduate students could be admitted. Now there are two different kinds of graduate schools, and one of them is Deficiency Program. Ass. Prof. Hasan Yavuzer, Dr. Hulusi Yılmaz and Vedat Celebi are the Faculty.
