Abstrakt: Agriculture is one of the priorities and very important fields in Türkiye's economic development, and it should be carried out with scientific methods. In today's faculties of agriculture, education is given in different departments and agricultural engineers who can work in various fields of agriculture are trained. For this reason, it is an important issue that the department chosen by the students should be suitable for them and what the department selection is made according to. This study was conducted to find answers to the questions of whether the students' department preferences have changed according to factors such as age, gender, family work, monthly income of the family, number of siblings, family residence, and the order in which they prefer the Faculty of Agriculture. The data in the study were tested with Chi-Square analysis. As a result of the study, the effect of all factors except the number of siblings and the order of preference on the department preference was found to be statistically significant, and it was concluded that the students consider their personality traits, their interest in agricultural activities, the place of their preferred profession in the society and the employment rate of the profession.
