This study aims to examine the factors affecting the department selection of postgraduate students studying at the department of logistics and the interaction between these factors. Since department selection necessitates making a choice between more than one factor, it has been used the Fuzzy DEMATEL integrated method, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods, as a research method. In consequence of the detailed literature research, the factors that students take into account in choosing the department determined as the desire to increase employment opportunities (academic / professional promotion opportunities), the desire to pursue an academic career, the promising future of the department of the logistics, high income expectation, family expectation, desire to increase personal talents / intellectual accumulation and opportunities to find a job. The study has been carried out with the voluntary participation of a total of 12 students, seven of whom were master students and five of whom were PhD students, studying at a state university in the fall semester of 2020-2021. As a result of the research findings, the desire to increase employment opportunities has been determined as highest weighted, highest effect and relationship level factor on other factors. On the other hand, family expectation has been determined as a relatively independent factor with the lowest relationship level and the lowest weight compared to other factors
