Based on survey feedback, we are separating Arabic and Islamic Studies into two distinct programs starting this year.
This means all of the Islamic Studies modules will be completed in one academic year, with a Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer semester for our workshops.
This also means double the content. In addition to Seerah, Theology, Advanced Eschatology, Devotional Law, and Islamic Spirituality, the curriculum will include early Muslim history, Interpersonal Law, Hadith Studies, Qur’an Studies, and Legal Philosophy and Theory.
Every subject is studied in a context relevant to our time, needs, and realities.
All of this is accomplished in less than 10 months, part-time, with only 5 hours of commitment a week on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Go beyond just ritual reading, and fall in love with God’s greatest conversation with you:
