Abstract

This study aims to conduct a quantitative examination of English Medium Instruction (EMI) programs in Türkiye, a factor that increases the internationalization of universities and educational institutions. All data were collected from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) website. This study uses descriptive statistics to provide information and evidence on EMI programs in both public and private universities. The data were analyzed to determine the differences between EMI programs in public and private institutions and to compare basic EMI program features across university types. The findings show that EMI programs in private universities are much more widely implemented than those in public universities. In addition, it is seen that more importance is attached to EMI programs in private universities. One of the important results of this study is the fact that EMI programs have become increasingly popular among students in both public and private universities in recent years. However, the analysis highlights the lack of comprehensive data on current student enrollments, the number of faculty members, and graduation rates in EMI programs, and underscores the need for more precise and accessible information on EMI.
