In the last thirty years, the Turkish higher education system has shown a tremendous improvement with the approach of no city without a university. In addition to the universities established in the Republican era, the total number of universities has increased to 209 today. A large number of new private and public universities appear on the horizon. However, the positive impact of this numerical expansion remains a question that needs to be explored. Instead of establishing homothetic (uniform) universities in every city, the starting point of this study is to emphasize the concept of need-oriented thematic universities. Considering Türkiye's agricultural potential and academic experience, the search for university approaches for agricultural education in higher education is the main focus of this study. For this reason, researchers consider the fields of curriculum development, higher education, and agriculture from a transdisciplinary perspective and examine what kind of models can emerge by using phenomenology, one of the qualitative research methods. Continuous analytical decoding after each data collection session provided input to the next data collection process. The collected data revealed six different agricultural higher education approaches or models. These are application-oriented, development-oriented, cooperation-oriented, regional progress-oriented, research-oriented and thematic university approaches. In addition, the participants stated that combining the existing agricultural faculties under the roof of agricultural universities would strengthen agricultural education in Türkiye.
