Adnan Menderes University Bozdoğan Vocational School was established on 03 February 2006 and began its educational activities in the 2006–2007 academic year. At the time of its establishment, it provided education within two departments: the Department of Economic and Administrative Programs and the Department of Health Programs.
In the 2006–2007 academic year, students were admitted to the Marketing Program (with the branches of Sales Management and Advertising) under the Department of Economic and Administrative Programs, and to the Animal Breeding and Health Program under the Department of Health Programs.
In the 2007–2008 academic year, an evening education program for the Animal Breeding and Health Program was opened, thereby increasing the educational capacity of the vocational school.
In the 2008–2009 academic year, the Public Relations Program, evening education for the Marketing Program, and the Aquaculture Program within the Department of Technical Programs were opened. Thus, educational activities at the vocational school were carried out through six programs.
In the 2009–2010 academic year, in accordance with the decision of the Council of Higher Education, the name of the Animal Breeding and Health Program was changed to the Large and Small Ruminant Breeding Program. In the same year, student admission to the evening education program was suspended because the number of students enrolled in the program remained below ten.
In the 2011–2012 academic year, the Department of Management and Organization was established, and the Health Institutions Management, Business Management, and Human Resources Programs were opened within this department. However, due to the lack of sufficient academic staff, students could not be admitted to these programs. During the restructuring carried out in the same academic year, the Large and Small Ruminant Breeding Program was closed and replaced by the Laboratory and Veterinary Health Program.
In the 2012–2013 academic year, evening education for the Laboratory and Veterinary Health Program was opened, providing educational opportunities for a larger number of students.
The vocational school has continuously updated its educational activities in line with sectoral needs and has made changes to its program structure. Within the scope of the decision to close evening education programs in higher education institutions in the 2024–2025 academic year, the evening education of the Laboratory and Veterinary Health Program was also closed, and educational activities began to be conducted only through the formal daytime education program.
As of the 2024–2025 academic year, the 3+1 Workplace Vocational Training Model has started to be implemented in the Laboratory and Veterinary Health Program and the Public Relations and Promotion Program. Within the scope of this model, students complete their final semester by receiving practical vocational training in public institutions and private sector enterprises, thereby gaining the opportunity to improve their professional knowledge and skills before graduation.
