History
The institution was founded on January 1, 1882 as the "School of Fine Arts" ("Sanayi-i Nefise Mekteb-i Âlisi, formally Mekteb-i Sanayi-i Nefise-i ?âhâne or simply "Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi") by the renowned Turkish painter, art historian, archaeologist, and museum curator, Osman Hamdi Bey. Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University was the first educational institution in fine arts and architecture in Turkey. It opened on March 2nd, 1883 with 8 instructors and 20 students.
In 1914, the school became co-educational. It was converted in 1928 from a school to an academy, the first in Turkey-- and its name was changed to "State Academy of Fine Arts" (Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi). In 1969, it was renamed again, to "Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts" (?stanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi abbreviated ?DGSA). On July 20, 1982, its status was again changed, and the academy became "Mimar Sinan University" (Mimar Sinan Üniversitesi) after the great Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan. Finally, in December 2003, the administration of the university changed its name to "Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University".
Since 1982 the institution has been providing 4-year educational programs.
