A strategic plan is usually a five-year report in which the mission, vision, goals that the university wants to accomplish and the resources needed to achieve these goals are determined. For a good strategic plan, top management needs to have a plan, to have stakeholders' opinions, to develop strategies to provide competitive advantage to other universities, to prepare a performance program every year, and to create annual reports showing whether we have achieved the goals. A successful strategic plan is achieved when attention is paid to these issues. Descriptive analysis method was used in this study, in which strategic plans of different universities were dealt with comparatively. Both current and previous strategic plans of the randomly selected three universities were examined descriptively and the findings obtained were evaluated comparatively. As a result of the findings obtained, it was understood that the strategic planning studies of all three universities were completed in accordance with the provisions stipulated in the legislation, but there were some institutional differences.
