Abstract :Given the M.A. and Ph.D theses submitted to the Departments of Islamic History in 23 Theology Faculties in Turkey after the establisment of Higher Education Committee insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(YOK);, it is seen that the majority of the theses were done in the 8 Universities in which there were either a Theology Faculty or an Institute of Higher Islamic Education before the YOK. More than 91 % of the theses until 2003 were done in these universities. This clearly indicates that Theology Faculties, especially those founded in the 90’s, are in need of lecturers who can supervise postgraduate theses. One quarter of the postgraduate theses on Islamic History in our country are Ph.Ds. and the rest are M.A. theses. Given the subject of these theses, one realizes that the majority of them are on issues related to the Ottoman period. One of the problems facing researchers is that several M.A. or Ph.D. candidates study the same subject at the same time. In my personal opinion, to avoid this problem, an internet site giving the latest information about ongoing theses on Islamic History urgently needs to be established.
