Zaytuna College, America’s first accredited Muslim liberal arts college, aims to restore the centrality of the pursuit of knowledge among Muslims that has always been the hallmark of Islamic tradition. The primary mission of the college is “to educate and prepare morally committed professional, intellectual, and spiritual leaders, who are grounded in the Islamic scholarly tradition and conversation with the cultural currents and critical ideas shaping modern society.” Zaytuna aims to fulfill its mission by teaching the ancient skills of the Trivium—grammar, logic, rhetoric—as the foundation for a broader academic program that combines rigorous study in the great books of both Western and Islamic traditions with comprehensive study of the most significant trends in Modernity. Drawing ultimately from the wisdom tradition of Islam, Zaytuna College offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Islamic Law and Theology.
Zaytuna College is located in Berkeley, California, in two historic buildings located at the heart of the Graduate Theological Union, the largest consortium of religious schools in America.
