Anadolu University (Turkish: Anadolu Üniversitesi) is a public university in Eskişehir, Turkey. The university is known for its success in verbal fields such as history and communication. Its Faculty of Communication Sciences is sometimes considered the best in Turkey.[4] The campus is named after Yunus Emre.

History

Anadolu University is based on Eskişehir Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences, which was established in 1958.[5] Anadolu University was established in 1982 from the union of four existing higher education institutes in Eskişehir: the Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences of Eskişehir, the State Academy of Architecture and Engineering, the Institute of Education, and a medical school.[6] As the Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences was founded earliest (in 1958), Anadolu University has adopted that year as their date of establishment.

Most of Anadolu University's faculties and schools, including the Open Education Faculty, are located at the Yunusemre Campus in the

university hospital, and most of the university's administration

To serve its distance education students, Anadolu University operates 88 administrative centres, or bureaus, in urban areas throughout Turkey, many of which offer academic counselling and optional evening classes.[7][8]
