COURSE GOALS
The goal of this program is to provide English speakers (both Muslim and non-Muslim alike) a rare opportunity to obtain an accredited degree in Islamic Studies and Arabic that is academically and Islamically sound. The undergraduate course is a four year BA degree which can be completed in 3 years. Each year consists of three semesters each of which has a duration of four months.

Although the program was initially designed to provide a solid Islamic foundation for English-speaking Muslim converts, Arab and non-Arab English-speaking Muslims who are keen to learn how to explain Islam accurately, to others in English can benefit from attending the program's courses. Similar Islamic Studies programs at Arabic universities in the Middle East take 6-7 years, beginning with a two to three year study of the Arabic language before the non-Arab student begins a four year study of the Islamic disciplines.

In response to the need for a more integrated approach, Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips has set up, in conjunction with the Omdurman Islamic University, Center for Islamic Studies at the Shaikh Eid Charity's branch, Qatar Guest Center, in Doha, Qatar. The Center will offer accredited courses leading to a BA degree in Islamic and Arabic Studies which will be issued by Omdurman Islamic University in Sudan. This can be accomplished in a minimum of three years of study. The Center for Islamic Studies (CIS) is a unique Middle-Eastern solution for those who cannot afford to spend 6-7 years pursuing a basic BA degree in Islamic disciplines in Arabic institutions.

Duration of the course
The Islamic Studies degree program will be taught completely in English at the facilities of the Qatar Guest Center. Female students will have completely separate facilities, where lectures will be conducted over close-circuit television. The teaching staff consists of English-proficient professors from a variety of countries with degrees from well-known Islamic institutions. In conjunction with local lecturers, additional visiting lecturers and professors from the West will be invited each semester to handle some of the Islamic subjects.

This course may be taken separately for a certificate in Arabic (128 hours over two semesters) or a diploma (256 hours over four semesters).

Consequently, the graduating student will have a level of Arabic proficiency unrivalled by any achieved in a Western institution offering degrees in Islamic Studies. Furthermore, the graduating student will be required to take at least two courses taught completely in Arabic as a graduation requirement, ensuring Arabic proficiency.
