Moreover, graduates have become college and university professors, lawyers, and business executives. Islamic studies graduates find their marketable skills considerably enriched by their humanities education in general, as well as by their study of important international issues. All freshman applicants are considered within a competitive admission process for Summer, Autumn, and Winter quarters for the Columbus campus. Once these criteria have been met and students are officially enrolled in the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences, they may declare their major as Islamic studies, and then contact the coordinating adviser in the Division for Comparative Studies in the Humanities. The GEC is a body of courses designed to ensure that each student becomes acquainted with the basic areas of academic study.
Some majors also require completion of a foreign language requirement.
Islamic Studies Requirements Students who major in Islamic studies are required to complete a program of 60 hours in language, history, basic research, culture, and in major and allied courses. Students plan their major programs in consultation with their faculty advisers to meet their individual needs and to assure a coherent educational program. Qualified students are encouraged to pursue the honors program in Islamic studies. Core courses include the study of an Islamic language through the 104 level. These courses do not apply to the major.
