The aim of this study is to carry out the validity and reliability study, and the adaptation of the “Cynical Attitudes towards Collage Scale” to Turkish developed by Brockway, Carlson, Jones and Bryant (2002). Study group 1 includes the linguistic equivalence study conducted to determine the consistency between the Turkish and the English form of Cynical Attitudes toward College Scale. The study group 1 constitutes 3rd grade teacher candidates of English Language Teaching Department at Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University in the academic year of 2016-2017.

Based on the findings, it can be said that the Cynical Attitudes toward College Scale is a data collection tool suitable for assessing cynical attitudes towards a higher education institution of students. Students who are studying in academic units of other higher education institutions can use this scale, which is adapted based on the view of students of a state university education faculty.
