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.
