Islamic Studies Minor
The Islamic Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program that is focused on Islam and Muslim societies across the globe.
The program aims to equip undergraduate students with knowledge on Muslim states and societies through its minor program. To this end, the program continuously increases the number of courses at UNO about Islam and Muslims.
Given the importance of Islam in world politics and the global economy, our minor program is beneficial for those students who plan to pursue a career in business, education, history, anthropology, international studies, religious studies, communication, political science, social work, public administration, art and art history, medicine, criminal justice, sociology and other fields.
Other Information
All coursework taken for the Islamic Studies minor must be completed with a grade of “C“ or better.
