Abstract	This study aims to examine the happiness levels of physical education and sports college students studying in Konya, Burdur, and Ankara. A total of 229 students, 64.6% female, and 35.4% male, participated in the study in the 2019-2020 academic year. The "Oxford Happiness Scale" developed by Hills and Argyle (2002) and adapted into Turkish by Dogan and Çötok (2011) was used as a data collection tool in the study. Percentage distribution and frequency values of the students participating in the study were determined by descriptive statistics and skewness and kurtosis test was applied as the normality test. Due to the normal distribution of the data, the independent samples t-test and ANOVA test, which are parametric tests, were applied (a = 0.05). According to the findings obtained in the research; In the comparison made between the genders of the students, a significant difference was observed between the groups in favor of female. In the comparison made according to the age variable of the students, it was observed that there was a significant difference in favor of 19-year-old students. It was found that there is a significant difference in the comparison made between the sports purposes of the students. Another finding is that there is a significant difference between students' living a healthy life variable and their level of happiness. However, in the comparisons made according to the social life variable of the students, it was found that there was no significant difference between the groups. As a result, it has been determined that the happiness levels of physical education and sports college students are significantly effective according to their goals of engaging in sports.
