Muslim liberal arts college takes root in Berkeley
August 28, 2010
Zaytuna College, which hopes to become the first accredited, four-year Muslim liberal arts college in the U.S., this week welcomed its first students to its rented space in a Baptist seminary in Berkeley. The college, which has about a dozen faculty members, will offer two majors at first, in Arabic language and Islamic law and theology. Muslims in the U.S. have founded schools, mosques and religious organizations. An accredited college is the next step, Zaytuna's founders say.
