Course Specializations

Many of the courses that are offered are multi-leveled and are offered throughout multiple semesters. To obtain a specialization, taking all levels of a single course are required. e.g., taking Holy Qur’ān 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, & 06 will mean you have completed a Holy Qur’ān Specialization.

For nine courses per semester the classes will be from 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM with each class being an hour long. Evening classes will also be offered for selected subjects from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM.
