In 1978, this department was closed, and the Chemistry program continued under the Mersin Vocational School. In 1982, it was affiliated with Çukurova University. In 1988, Mersin Vocational School was included in the scope of the YÖK/World Bank Industrial Education Project, and education continued under the Technical Programs as the Chemistry Program. In 2006, the Economic and Administrative Programs were separated from Mersin Vocational School and divided into two separate schools: theVocational School of Social Sciences and the Vocational School of Technical Sciences. Currently, our department continues its education as the Chemistry Technology program under the Chemistry and Chemical Processing Technology Department within MEU Technical Sciences Vocational School.
