Certificate in Muslim Leadership

This flexible program is intended to offer continuing education for imams and other Muslim leaders who seek advanced education but may not want to enroll for a full degree program. Courses taken in a certificate program, however, may be transferred in to a degree program at a later date.

The certificate consists of four 3-unit courses:

Religious Leadership and Spirituality in Muslim Contexts (required)
Three courses in Muslim Studies, such as:
- The Qur'an and its Interpreters
- History of Islam
- Islamic Law and Legal Theory
- Survey of Islamic Theology, Philosophy, and Mysticism
- Interreligious Dialogue and Leadership
- The Art of Khutbah

Students will also be required to complete an integrative paper or action project in their context at the conclusion of the program.
