In the collection of data, 3 questions including demographic characteristics and 5 questions including views on distance education have been asked, and the E-Learning Readiness Scale has been used. Frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t-test, variance analysis and chi-square tests have been used in the analysis of the data. According to the findings, 70.2% of the students have stated that they did not want to study in any higher education program that provides education through distance education. 21.1% of the students thought that their programs could be done entirely with distance education method and 69.5% of the students have stated that they would still prefer face-to-face education even if there was a distance education alternative. Working students had higher e-learning readiness levels. Finally, no statistically significant difference has been obtained between the programs and the readiness level.
