Started in 2012, the "Systematic Classification of Poetry Collections Project (MESTAP)" is a project that makes a valuable contribution to classical Turkish literature research. Within the scope of this project, many collections of poetry (mecmuas) have been brought to light and made available to the scholarly community. The unearthing of all of the mecmuas, embodying many treasures of Turkish culture and literature, will be instrumental in revealing the essential components of Turkish culture and literature. For this reason, it is of great importance to uncover all of these treasures and determine their content. It is necessary to use all possible platforms to accelerate this process. One of these platforms is postgraduate education. In this article, the evaluation of the "Poetry Collections" course in the curriculum of the Marmara University Ph.D. program was carried out within the scope of the MESTAP project. It was tried to determine the status of the mecmua theses registered in the YÖK Thesis system prepared within the scope of the course in terms of the MESTAP project and the use of the tables. At the end of the article, it is suggested that a course on "poetry collections" be introduced as an elective course to postgraduate education and that applied studies be carried out in this course to obtain practical outputs that will contribute to the project.
