History

The history of the university dates back to Rize Vocational School, [4] founded on March 1, 1976. The school later continued to grow through the foundation of Faculty of Theology and the Faculty of Fisheries in 1992; and then Fındıklı Vocational School in 1996 and the Faculty of Education and Faculty of Science and Literature in 1997.

Being part of Karadeniz Technical University, the university was later chartered as Rize University with its Faculties of Fisheries, Theology, Science and Literature, Education, and Rize Vocational School (later divided into two schools).

Recep Tayyip Erdogan University continues its activities with its 3 Institutes, 13 Faculties, 5 Schools, 7 Vocational Schools, 7 Research and Application Centre, and 6 departments within rectorate.

During Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's campaign for presidency in 2014 and throughout his presidency, there were numerous claims that he didn't graduate from a university and therefore he is ineligible to be President of Turkey, because he was not a university graduate. Similar claims have also been made about Erdogan's high school diploma. These claims refer to Article 101 of the Turkish constitution stating that presidential candidates are required to have completed their tertiary education. The article however doesn't narrow down tertiary education to universities only, allowing other options such as trade schools and colleges.
