The research model was adopted and literature review, document analysis and focus group interview methods were used. In this context, the research is descriptive and cross-sectional. In the research, it was determined that there were 415 post graduate studies registered in the database of National Thesis Center of Department of Publication and Documentation of Higher Education Council. 328 of these studies, are master thesis and 87 are doctoral dissertations. Since the theses without access permission could not be reached, 272 master thesis and 78 doctoral dissertations, totally 350 post graduate studies, were examined in terms of various variables. According to the results of the research; “men” as the gender variable, “Turkish” as the language variable, “Marmara University” as the university variable, “formal religious education” topic as the subject variable,“ literature review” as the method variable, “institute of social sciences”as the institute variable, “philosophy and religious sciences” as the department variable, “religious education” as the science variable, and“ single academic advisor”as the number of academic advisors in post graduate studies. According to the results of the research; “men” as the gender variable, “Turkish” as the language variable, “Marmara University” as the university variable, “formal religious education” as the topic variable, “literature review” as the method variable, “institute of social sciences” as the institute variable, “philosophy and religious sciences” as the department variable, “religious education” as the science variable and “single consultant” as the number of consultant variable in post graduate studies. However, in recent years, post graduate studies on religious education have gained momentum in terms of new subject orientations and method with some deficiencies. Conducting these studies based on scientific research paradigms has also improved in quantity and quality.},author={Ahmet Ali ÇANAKCI },year={2020},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
