THE SCHOOL OF
TOBACCO EXPERTISE
HISTORY
Introduced in 1969, the code numbered 1177 and named “Tobacco and
Tobacco Monopoly” prescribes that all jobs related to tobacco expertise
should be performed by graduates of The School of Tobacco Experts”. In
accordance with the code, the school was initially established by The
Ministry of Customs and Monopoly in 1975 as a vocational college,
offering a two-year program to high school graduates via
pre-registration.
The
length of study at the school was extended to 3 years in 1978 and later
to 4 years in 1982. In 1983, the school was joined to The Faculty of
Forestry, Istanbul University complied with the code 2809. Through its
new academic structure, the curriculum offered at the school aimed to
equip students with necessary formation needed in the tobacco and
cigarette industry’s changing environment. Hence, graduates were awarded
the title of “Tobacco Industrial Engineer” starting the year 1987 but
that title was replaced with “Tobacco Technology Engineer” later on by
The Council of Higher Education
In
1987, in accordance with the code 3389, the school was planned to move
to Akhisar, Manisa and join to The Faculty of Agriculture, Ege
University. In 1992, the name of the school was changed to “The School
of Tobacco Expertise” and it became an affiliate of the newly founded
Celal Bayar University, Manisa.

prospective tobacco technology engineers to meet the demands of the
industry, started providing education for freshmen at the building of
